Bill > HRes502

This Resolution establishes the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider two important matters: first, it sets the procedure for the House to review and respond to amendments made by the Senate to a bill (H.B. 3630) aimed at encouraging job creation; specifically, the House will consider a motion to reject the Senate's changes and request a conference committee to negotiate a final version, with limited debate allowed. Second, it outlines the process for the House to consider a resolution (H. Res. 501) that expresses the House's opinion on potential legislative actions related to extending a "payroll tax holiday" (a temporary reduction in taxes paid by employees), continuing federally funded unemployment benefits, and preventing cuts to how much doctors are reimbursed for treating Medicare beneficiaries, also with limited debate and waiving certain procedural objections. The Resolution also includes provisions for postponing consideration of these matters and waiving a rule that typically requires a two-thirds vote to consider certain committee reports on the same day they are presented.
