Bill > HRes303

This Resolution sets forth the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider a bill, referred to as H.B. 5 (or H.R. 5 in the document), which aims to support state and local control over public education, protect their authority, and inform parents about their children's school performance. Specifically, it allows the Speaker to bring the bill to the floor for debate and amendment, waiving all objections to its consideration. The resolution limits general debate to one hour and outlines a process for considering amendments, including a specific substitute amendment that will be treated as the base text for further amendments. It also specifies that only certain pre-approved amendments, as detailed in a report from the Rules Committee, will be allowed, with strict time limits and debate controls for each. Finally, it establishes that after amendments are considered, the bill will be voted on for final passage, with a single opportunity for a motion to recommit the bill back to committee.
