Bill > HRes403

This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering two bills in the House of Representatives. First, it allows for the consideration of H.R. 2655, a bill aimed at improving attorney accountability by amending Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which governs the conduct and filings of lawyers in federal court. Second, it provides for the consideration of H.R. 982, which would require trusts established under section 524(g) of title 11 of the United States Code (bankruptcy law) to publicly disclose quarterly reports detailing how they handle claims for injuries resulting from asbestos exposure. For both bills, the Resolution waives all points of order against their consideration and against specific provisions within them, limits debate, and specifies the amendment process, generally allowing only amendments printed in a committee report.
