Bill Summary

Providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 143) enabling Congress to advance important policies.

AI Summary

This resolution, a procedural measure from the House of Representatives, sets the rules for debating and voting on H.J. Res. 143, a joint resolution intended to allow Congress to move forward with important policies. Specifically, it waives all objections that would normally prevent the House from considering H.J. Res. 143, and it allows for a specific type of amendment, submitted by the leading member of the minority party on the Rules Committee, to be automatically adopted if it's the last one submitted. The resolution also limits debate to one hour, equally split between the majority and minority leaders, and allows for only one motion to send the bill back for further consideration (a motion to recommit) before a final vote. Furthermore, it outlines procedures for amending the title of H.J. Res. 143 and exempts its consideration from certain standard House rules, ensuring a streamlined process for advancing the underlying policy. Finally, it directs the Clerk of the House to inform the Senate of the House's passage of H.J. Res. 143 within three days.
