AI Summary

This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering three legislative items 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 certain states and local governments are identified as needing federal oversight to protect voting rights; this consideration will proceed with most procedural objections waived, and a specific amendment will be automatically adopted, with limited debate and a final vote. Second, it provides for the consideration of H.R. 3684, a bill that authorizes funding for federal highway and transit programs, allowing the House to vote on accepting an amendment made by the Senate, also with limited debate and procedural waivers. Finally, it adopts S. Con. Res. 14, which establishes the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2022 and outlines budgetary levels for subsequent years, with a specific rule waived to allow for its adoption.
