Bill > HRes619

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider a bill, H.R. 4348, which aims to temporarily extend federal programs related to highways, highway safety, truck safety (motor carrier safety), and public transportation. These programs are funded by the Highway Trust Fund, a dedicated account for transportation infrastructure. The resolution allows the Speaker to bring the bill to the floor for debate and potential amendments. It waives certain procedural rules, meaning that objections to considering the bill or its provisions will be disregarded, and limits the time for general debate to one hour. After this initial debate, the bill will be open for amendments under a specific procedure called the "five-minute rule," with only pre-selected amendments allowed, and further procedural objections to these amendments will also be waived. Finally, after all amendments are considered, the bill will be sent back to the House for a final vote, with only one opportunity for a motion to send it back to committee.
