Bill > HRes206

This Resolution establishes the rules for debating and voting on H.R. 1363, a bill that allocates funds for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011. It allows the House of Representatives to consider this appropriations bill, waiving all objections that might otherwise prevent its consideration or specific provisions within it from being debated. The resolution also waives a rule (clause 6(a) of rule XIII) that typically requires a two-thirds vote to consider certain reports from the Committee on Rules on the same day they are presented, specifically for resolutions related to funding the government for the 2011 fiscal year, provided these reports are presented before April 11, 2011. This means the House can move forward with debating and voting on the defense spending bill more quickly and with fewer procedural hurdles.
