Bill Summary

Sets forth the rule for consideration of the conference report to accompany the bill (H.B. 2055) making appropriations for military construction, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.B. 3672) making appropriations for disaster relief requirements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the concurrent resolution (H.

AI Summary

This Resolution establishes the rules for considering several important legislative items in the House of Representatives. Specifically, it allows for the consideration of a conference report, which is a final version of a bill agreed upon by both the House and Senate, for H.R. 2055, a bill that funds military construction and the Department of Veterans Affairs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012. It also sets the stage for considering H.R. 3672, a bill for disaster relief for the same fiscal year, and H. Con. Res. 94, a concurrent resolution that directs the Clerk of the House to make corrections to H.R. 3672. Crucially, this Resolution waives various procedural objections, known as "points of order," that could otherwise prevent these measures from being debated and voted on, and it sets limits on debate and the ability to propose amendments.
