Bill > HRes228

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider H.R. 3, a bill to approve the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Keystone XL pipeline. It allows the Speaker to bring the bill to the floor for debate and amendment, waiving all objections that might otherwise prevent its consideration. The resolution limits general debate to 90 minutes, divided between the relevant committees, and then allows for amendments to be offered under a specific procedure. It also designates a particular text as the base for amendments and restricts further amendments to only those specifically listed in the Rules Committee report, with strict time limits and debate controls for each. Finally, it outlines the process for reporting the bill back to the House and allows for a single motion to recommit before a final vote.
