Bill > HRes377

This resolution provides procedural guidelines for considering two specific bills in the House of Representatives. The first bill (H.R. 276) seeks to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America", and the resolution establishes that the bill can be considered with waived points of order, with the Natural Resources Committee's recommended amendment automatically adopted. The bill will be considered as read, with one hour of debate equally divided between the committee chair and ranking minority member, and allowing one motion to recommit. The second bill (H.R. 881) relates to establishing Department of Homeland Security funding restrictions for institutions of higher education with connections to Confucius Institutes, a Chinese government-sponsored educational program. Similar to the first bill, this resolution provides procedural accommodations such as waiving points of order, adopting a specific amendment from the Rules Committee, and allowing one hour of debate divided between the Homeland Security Committee's chair and ranking minority member, with a motion to recommit permitted. The resolution essentially sets the stage for expedited consideration of these two pieces of legislation on the House floor.
