Bill > HRes352

This Resolution establishes the rules for debating and voting on House Joint Resolution 59 (H.J.Res. 59), which is a measure to make continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2014, meaning it would fund the government at existing levels if a full budget isn't passed in time. Specifically, it waives all objections to considering H.J.Res. 59, deems a specific amendment as adopted, considers the joint resolution as read, and waives all objections to its amended provisions. The resolution also sets a limit of one hour for debate, equally divided between the Majority and Minority parties' Appropriations Committee leaders, and allows for only one motion to recommit the bill. Furthermore, it permits the Speaker to consider motions to suspend the rules, a procedure used for non-controversial legislation, at any time between September 26 and September 29, 2013, with consultation between the Speaker and the Minority Leader.
