Bill Summary

Sets forth the rule for consideration of S. 627 (establishing the Commission on Freedom of Information Act).

AI Summary

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will continue to consider a bill, specifically Senate Bill 627 (S. 627). This bill aims to create a "Commission on Freedom of Information Act Processing Delays," which would be a group tasked with examining and addressing issues related to how long it takes for government agencies to respond to requests made under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). FOIA is a law that gives the public the right to request access to records from any federal agency. The Resolution states that a specific amendment, detailed in a report from the Committee on Rules, will be considered as if it has already been approved and added to S. 627. This process is part of the legislative procedure in the House, as indicated by the reference to "House Resolution 375" and the "House Calendar."
