Bill > HRes438

This Resolution establishes the rules for the House of Representatives to consider a Senate amendment to House Joint Resolution 59, which is a bill to continue government funding for fiscal year 2014, and also addresses other legislative matters. Specifically, it outlines how the House will debate and vote on a motion to accept the Senate's changes to the funding bill, with a limited debate time and strict rules for voting. The Resolution also allows for the insertion of explanatory material into the Congressional Record by committee chairs, permits minor technical adjustments during the engrossment of the bill, and sets procedures for handling House business, including suspending the rules and adjourning, during the period from December 14, 2013, through January 6, 2014, ensuring that certain days within this period do not count towards the time limits set by the War Powers Resolution. Additionally, it provides for the consideration of a bill to temporarily extend agricultural programs and waives certain procedural requirements for considering reports from the Committee on Rules.
