Bill Summary

Sets forth the rule for consideration of the bill (H.B. 1732) to preserve existing rights and responsibilities with respect to waters of the United States, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the conference report to accompany the concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 11) setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2016 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2017 through 2025; and providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 43) disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Reproductive Health Non-Discrimination Amendment Act of 2014.

AI Summary

This Resolution establishes the rules for considering three specific legislative items in the House of Representatives. First, it allows for the consideration of H.B. 1732, a bill aimed at preserving existing rights and responsibilities concerning "waters of the United States," which refers to bodies of water regulated by federal law. The resolution sets limits on debate time and waives certain procedural objections, making it easier to bring the bill to a vote and amendment. Second, it permits the consideration of a conference report on S. Con. Res. 11, which is a concurrent resolution that outlines the congressional budget for fiscal year 2016 and projects budgetary levels for subsequent years. Again, procedural objections are waived to facilitate a vote on this budget report. Finally, the resolution allows for the consideration of H.J. Res. 43, a joint resolution that would disapprove of a law passed by the District of Columbia Council concerning reproductive health non-discrimination, and it waives certain procedural rules that would normally apply to such a disapproval resolution.
