Bill Summary

Establishing the Task Force on the Legislative Process.

AI Summary

This concurrent resolution establishes a Task Force on the Legislative Process to analyze ways to expedite consideration of legislation that passes one chamber of Congress with broad, bipartisan support, stemming from a recommendation by the Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress. The Task Force will consist of 12 members, with 3 members each appointed by the Speaker, House Minority Leader, Senate Majority Leader, and Senate Minority Leader, ensuring representation from both parties and the Rules Committees of both chambers. The members will select two co-chairs, and the Task Force is charged with soliciting information and legislative proposals related to bicameral legislation expedition, which means creating processes to more quickly consider bills that have passed one chamber with unanimous or overwhelming support. Within one year, the Task Force must issue a report to congressional leadership and key committees, including an analysis of potential expedited legislative processes and recommendations approved by at least 9 of its members. After submitting the report, the Task Force will terminate, and its records will be transferred to the Rules Committees of the House and Senate. The resolution aims to improve congressional efficiency and potentially reduce legislative gridlock by creating a structured approach to identifying and implementing faster legislative review processes.
