Bill > HRes368

This Resolution addresses the consideration of House Joint Resolution 59 (H.J. Res. 59), a measure designed to make continuing appropriations for the fiscal year 2014, meaning it would temporarily fund government operations if a full budget wasn't passed on time. Specifically, the House is taking H.J. Res. 59 from the Speaker's table, indicating it's ready for action, and is agreeing to its amendment to a Senate amendment. The House is also formally stating its disagreement with the Senate's version and is requesting a conference committee, a group of lawmakers from both chambers, to negotiate and resolve the differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill. Furthermore, the Resolution stipulates that only the Majority Leader or someone they designate can offer any motions related to H.J. Res. 59 under a specific House rule (clause 4 of rule XXII), which governs how legislation is brought to the floor for debate and votes.
