Bill > HRes479

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider a bill, H.R. 10, which proposes a significant change to how major rules from executive branch agencies are implemented. Specifically, the bill would require that any "major rule" – a regulation that is expected to have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more, or to cause a major increase in costs or prices for consumers, any industries, or geographic regions – would not take effect unless both the House and the Senate pass a joint resolution of approval for it. The resolution outlines that the House will debate the bill for one hour, then consider amendments under a specific procedure, with certain amendments already prepared and others allowed under strict conditions, and that all procedural objections to considering the bill and its amendments will be waived. Additionally, it includes provisions for the Speaker to reconvene the House during short breaks if necessary and references existing rules regarding the availability of conference reports.
