AI Summary
This Resolution establishes the rules for considering two important bills in the House of Representatives: H.R. 6169, which aims for expedited consideration of comprehensive tax reform, and H.R. 8, which extends certain tax relief provisions from 2001 and 2003. It sets strict time limits for debate and waives certain procedural objections, known as "points of order," to speed up the process for both bills. The Resolution also outlines procedures for House proceedings between August 3 and September 7, 2012, allowing the Speaker to adjourn the House and manage the introduction of new legislation during this period, and it permits motions to suspend the rules and waives a requirement for a two-thirds vote for considering certain reports from the Committee on Rules. Finally, it details how H.R. 6169 will be incorporated into H.R. 8 once both are passed.
