Bill > HRes1367

This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering a bill, H.R. 82, in the House of Representatives. Specifically, it allows the House to immediately consider H.R. 82, which aims to repeal the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP). These provisions currently reduce Social Security benefits for individuals who also receive a pension from government employment where they did not pay Social Security taxes. The Resolution waives all procedural objections that could prevent the bill from being considered, deems a proposed amendment to be adopted, and limits debate to one hour, equally divided between the majority and minority parties on the Ways and Means Committee. It also exempts this bill from a specific House rule (Clause 1(c) of rule XIX) that typically governs how bills are debated and amended.
