AI Summary

This Resolution establishes the process for the House of Representatives to consider two significant items: H.R. 1629, a bill aimed at amending the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to place limits on the exclusive approval or licensure of "orphan drugs" (drugs developed for rare diseases), and H. Res. 275, a resolution condemning the tragic shootings in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 16, 2021, and reaffirming the House's commitment to fighting hate and violence against the Asian-American and Pacific Islander community. The resolution outlines specific rules for debate and voting on these measures, waiving certain procedural objections to ensure their consideration, and also addresses other procedural matters related to legislative scheduling and amendments.
