Bill > HRes241

This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering H.R. 5, a bill aimed at protecting parental rights in public schools. It allows the Speaker of the House to bring the bill to the floor for debate and amendment at any time. The resolution waives certain procedural rules, meaning that objections to bringing the bill up for consideration or to specific amendments will be disregarded. It limits general debate to two hours, equally split between the majority and minority parties on the Education and the Workforce Committee. Following this, the bill will be open for amendments under a "five-minute rule," which is a standard procedure for offering amendments. Importantly, the resolution specifies that a particular version of the bill, known as "Rules Committee Print 118-2," will be considered as the base text for amendments, and any amendments to this base text must be those specifically listed in the accompanying Rules Committee report. These listed amendments will have a set debate time, cannot be further amended themselves, and will be voted on in a specific order. Finally, after all amendments are considered, the bill will be sent back to the full House for a final vote, with a provision for one motion to recommit the bill before the final vote.
