Bill > HRes26

This Resolution establishes the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider two important pieces of legislation: H.R. 2, a bill aimed at repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (often referred to as the "job-killing health care law" in the resolution's title) and related provisions from the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, and H. Res. 9, a resolution that directs certain committees to develop legislation to replace the Affordable Care Act. The resolution waives all points of order that could be raised against the consideration of H.R. 2, deems a specific amendment as adopted, considers the bill as read, and waives points of order against its provisions, allowing for a set amount of debate time divided among various committees and leaders before a final vote. It also sets the rules for considering H. Res. 9, including limited debate and a specific amendment that can be offered, and allows for a motion to recommit. Finally, it provides for the consideration of a separate resolution concerning the status of actions taken by Members-elect.
