Bill > HRes276

This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering H.B. 1540, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, which authorizes funding for military activities and personnel. Specifically, it allows the House of Representatives to move into the Committee of the Whole for further debate and amendment of the bill, with no additional general debate permitted. It outlines that a proposed committee amendment in the nature of a substitute will be considered as the original text for amendments, and all objections to it are waived. Only specific amendments, as listed in the Rules Committee's report and certain en bloc amendments, will be allowed, with strict time limits for debate and no further amendments to these specific proposals. The resolution also details procedures for reporting the bill back to the House and for final passage, including a final motion to recommit. Finally, it specifies a particular amendment regarding health assessment reports for open-air burn pits, which will be considered in place of another listed amendment.
