Bill > HRes1508

This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering two specific bills in the House of Representatives: H.R. 3648, which aims to change the Immigration and Nationality Act by removing country-specific limits for employment-based immigrants and increasing them for family-sponsored immigrants, and H.R. 7946, which would provide benefits to noncitizen members of the Armed Forces. The resolution waives all objections to considering these bills, deems certain amendments as adopted, and limits debate and further amendments, allowing for a streamlined process to bring them to a final vote, with provisions for specific amendments and a motion to recommit. It also includes measures to manage the timing of votes on suspending the rules for these and other related measures, and waives a requirement for a two-thirds vote for the Rules Committee to consider reports on the same day they are presented, for the remainder of the current Congress.
