AI Summary

This Resolution establishes the rules for considering a Senate amendment to House Bill 748 (H.B. 748), which aims to repeal the excise tax on high-cost employer-sponsored health coverage, often referred to as the "Cadillac tax." The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is the body of federal law concerning taxation in the United States. Additionally, this resolution extends certain legislative deadlines related to House Resolution 891, which was previously amended by House Resolution 905, pushing them to April 19, 2020, and April 20, 2020, respectively. These extensions affect when the Speaker of the House can suspend rules and when resolutions reported from the Committee on Rules can be considered on the same day they are presented. The resolution also sets a specific procedure for debating and voting on the Senate's proposed changes to H.B. 748, allowing for three hours of debate equally divided between the Majority and Minority Leaders or their designees, with a vote to follow immediately.
