Bill > HRes385

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider H.R. 3080, a bill aimed at improving U.S. rivers and harbors and managing water resources. Specifically, it allows the Speaker to bring the bill to the floor for debate and amendment, waiving any procedural objections to its consideration. The resolution outlines that there will be one hour of general debate, equally split between the majority and minority parties on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, after which amendments will be considered under a specific procedure called the "five-minute rule." It also establishes that a particular substitute amendment, found in a Rules Committee print, will be considered as the base text for further amendments, and any amendments to this substitute must be pre-approved and printed in the Rules Committee's report, with strict limitations on debate and further amendment. Furthermore, the resolution allows for amendments to be offered in blocks, also with limited debate and no further amendments. 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 send the bill back to committee.
