Bill > HRes472

This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering two bills in the House of Representatives. First, it allows for the consideration of H.B. 2954, which would permit Escambia County, Florida, to sell certain land that was once part of the Santa Rosa Island National Monument and was given to the county with specific conditions on its use and resale. Second, it provides for the consideration of H.B. 3964, which aims to address water-related issues in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley. For both bills, the Resolution waives certain procedural objections, limits general debate to one hour, and outlines a specific process for amendments, including restrictions on which amendments can be offered and how they will be debated. The "five-minute rule" refers to a procedure where amendments are offered and debated for a limited time. The "previous question" is a procedural motion that ends debate and brings a measure to a vote.
