Bill > HRes730

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider several important bills. First, it allows for the consideration of H.R. 5692, a bill for supplemental appropriations, meaning it provides additional funding for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024. The resolution waives all objections to considering this bill and any parts of it, limiting debate to 30 minutes and allowing only one motion to recommit (which is a procedural step to send the bill back for changes). Second, it addresses further consideration of H.R. 4365, a bill making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the same fiscal year, and H.R. 4367, a bill making appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for the same fiscal year. For these two bills, the resolution states that specific amendments, previously outlined in House Resolution 723, will be considered as adopted, meaning they will be incorporated into the bills without further debate or votes on those specific changes. These amendments include a reduction in funding for the Defense bill and changes to the H-2B visa program for non-agricultural workers in the Homeland Security bill, allowing the Secretary of Homeland Security to increase the number of these visas under certain conditions if American businesses cannot find enough U.S. workers.
