Bill > HRes218

This Resolution sets forth the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider H.R. 1473, a bill that provides funding for the Department of Defense and other government agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011. It waives all objections to considering the bill and to any specific parts of it, limiting debate to one hour and allowing only one motion to change the bill before a final vote. Additionally, the Resolution outlines the process for considering two concurrent resolutions, H. Con. Res. 35 and H. Con. Res. 36, which direct the Clerk of the House to make corrections to the official text of H.R. 1473 after it has been passed. These concurrent resolutions will also have limited debate and no other motions allowed before a vote. Finally, it specifies that if the Senate passes H.R. 1473 without changes, the House will not finalize the bill's official text until the Senate has also voted on the concurrent resolutions that correct it.
