Bill > HRes920

This Resolution extends certain deadlines established in a previous House Resolution (H.Res. 891), as amended by another resolution (H.Res. 911). Specifically, it pushes back the date by which certain legislative proceedings can occur to May 3, 2020. It also extends the Speaker of the House's authority to suspend the rules, which allows for quicker consideration of legislation, to the same date, May 3, 2020. Furthermore, it extends a provision that waives a specific House rule (Rule XIII, concerning calendar and committee reports) to allow resolutions reported by the Committee on Rules to be considered on the same day they are presented to the House, this extension lasts until May 4, 2020. These extensions were put in place during a period when the House was adapting its procedures, likely due to circumstances like the COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure legislative business could continue.
