Bill > HRes594

This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering several important pieces of legislation in the House of Representatives. First, it allows for the consideration of H.R. 4, a bill aimed at updating the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by changing how states and local governments are identified as needing federal oversight to protect voting rights, and waives any objections to its consideration, making an amendment automatically adopted, and limiting debate and amendments. Second, it permits the House to consider a Senate-approved amendment to H.R. 3684, a bill that funds federal highways, safety programs, and transit, allowing for a debate and vote on whether the House should agree to the Senate's changes. Finally, it provides for the adoption of Senate Concurrent Resolution 14, which establishes the congressional budget for fiscal year 2022 and outlines budgetary levels for subsequent years, and waives a specific procedural rule that would normally apply to budget resolutions.
