Bill Summary

Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 77) to amend chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, to provide for en bloc consideration in resolutions of disapproval for "midnight rules", and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This resolution provides procedural guidelines for considering H.R. 77, a bill related to reviewing "midnight rules" - a term referring to regulations issued by an outgoing presidential administration near the end of their term. Specifically, the resolution allows the House of Representatives to consider the bill with expedited procedures, waiving typical parliamentary obstacles like points of order that could block the bill's consideration. The resolution establishes that the bill will be automatically considered as "read" and provides for one hour of debate equally divided between the chair and ranking minority member of the Judiciary Committee. It also allows for a single motion to recommit (a procedural motion that gives the minority party a final opportunity to amend the bill before a final vote) and ensures the bill can proceed to a final vote without additional intervening motions. This approach streamlines the legislative process and facilitates a more direct consideration of the proposed legislation regarding how Congress can review and potentially disapprove of late-stage administrative rules.
