Bill Summary
Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 185) to advance responsible policies.
AI Summary
This resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 185, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, in the House of Representatives. The resolution establishes specific rules for debating and voting on the bill, including waiving certain procedural points of order, allowing one hour of debate equally divided between the Judiciary Committee chair and ranking minority member, and permitting one motion to recommit. The bill itself requires the Attorney General to publicly release, within 30 days of enactment, all unclassified documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, flight logs, associated individuals and entities, immunity deals, and DOJ communications about Epstein. The resolution mandates that documents cannot be withheld solely due to potential embarrassment or political sensitivity, though some limited redactions are permitted to protect victim privacy, ongoing investigations, and national security. The Attorney General must also submit a report to Congressional Judiciary Committees within 15 days of document release, detailing the categories of records released, a summary of redactions, and a list of government officials named in the materials. The resolution ensures the Clerk will transmit the passed bill to the Senate within one week of its passage.
