Bill > HRes688

This Resolution sets the stage for the House of Representatives to consider a bill, S. 1301, which aims to have the Secretary of Health and Human Services publish guidelines for physical activity for Americans. It waives all procedural objections that might prevent the bill from being considered, allows for a specific amendment to be automatically adopted, and considers the bill as read, again waiving any objections to its content. The resolution also establishes a strict debate and amendment process, allowing for only one hour of debate equally split between the majority and minority parties on the Committee on Ways and Means, and permits only one motion to send the bill back for further review before a final vote.
