Bill > HRes1137

This Resolution sets the rules for considering several important pieces of legislation and resolutions in the House of Representatives, essentially streamlining the process by waiving certain procedural objections and limiting debate time. Specifically, it allows for the consideration of H.R. 7888, a bill to reform the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA), which governs the collection of foreign intelligence information, including electronic surveillance. It also provides for the consideration of H.R. 529, a bill to expand the United States' customs waters, the area where customs laws are enforced, from 12 to 24 nautical miles offshore, aligning with a previous presidential proclamation. Furthermore, the resolution allows for the consideration of H. Res. 1112, a resolution that denounces the immigration policies of the Biden administration, and H. Res. 1117, a resolution opposing one-sided pressure on Israel concerning Gaza. For each of these items, the resolution specifies how amendments will be handled and limits the time for debate, aiming to facilitate their swift passage through the House.
