Bill > HRes271

This Resolution establishes the rules for further consideration of H.B. 1947, a bill aimed at reforming and continuing agricultural programs through fiscal year 2018. It allows the Speaker to bring the bill before the House of Representatives for debate and amendment, with no further general discussion permitted. The resolution specifies that a particular amendment, known as an "amendment in the nature of a substitute," will be considered as the original text for amendments, and any objections to it are waived. It also outlines which specific amendments will be allowed, how they will be debated and offered, and waives points of order against them. Furthermore, it permits the chair of the Committee on Agriculture to offer groups of amendments together, with limited debate and no further amendments allowed. Finally, after all amendments are considered, the bill will be reported back to the House for a final vote, with a limited opportunity for one motion to recommit.
