Bill > HRes287

This Resolution establishes the rules for considering H.B. 2017, a bill that would make appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012. It allows the House of Representatives to move quickly into a committee to debate and amend the bill, waiving most objections to its consideration and limiting general debate to one hour. The resolution also references House Concurrent Resolution 34, a budget resolution that sets spending limits, and states that its provisions will be treated as if Congress had formally adopted it, with specific allocations for the appropriations committee. Additionally, it allows for adjustments to these allocations if other spending bills are enacted before this resolution is adopted and clarifies that certain rules for fiscal year 2011 appropriations will remain in effect through September 30, 2011.
