Bill > HRes591

This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering a bill, H.R. 5, which aims to improve patient access to healthcare and medical care by reducing the burden of the liability system on healthcare providers. Specifically, it allows the Speaker of the House to bring the bill to the floor for debate and amendment under specific conditions, including waiving points of order against its consideration and limiting general debate to six hours. The resolution also outlines a process for amendments, where a substitute amendment will be considered adopted, and further amendments will be restricted to those specified in the Rules Committee report, with strict time limits and no further amendments allowed on those specific amendments. Finally, it establishes that after amendments are considered, the bill will proceed to a final vote, with only one opportunity for a motion to recommit.
