Bill > HRes628

This Resolution sets the rules for considering two important bills in the House of Representatives. First, it allows for the consideration of H.B. 4870, which makes appropriations (allocates money) for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015, and for other related purposes. This means the House will debate and vote on this defense spending bill, with specific time limits for general debate and amendments, and waiving certain procedural objections. Second, it provides for the consideration of Senate amendments to H.B. 3230, a bill designed to ensure that members of the reserve components of the Armed Forces receive their pay and allowances even during a government shutdown if they perform inactive-duty training (training performed when not on active duty). The resolution outlines how the House will vote on these Senate changes to the shutdown pay bill, also with limited debate and procedural waivers.
