Bill > HRes255

This Resolution establishes the rules for considering three specific bills in the House of Representatives. First, it allows for the consideration of H.R. 1735, which deals with authorizing funds for the Department of Defense's military activities and construction for fiscal year 2016, and setting military personnel levels. Second, it permits the consideration of H.R. 36, a bill aimed at amending federal law (title 18 of the United States Code) to protect unborn children who can feel pain. Third, it allows for the consideration of H.R. 2048, a bill designed to reform how the federal government gathers certain business records, conducts electronic surveillance, and uses other information-gathering tools for foreign intelligence, counterterrorism, and criminal investigations. For all three bills, the Resolution waives points of order against their consideration and, for H.R. 36 and H.R. 2048, waives points of order against their provisions after specific amendments are adopted, with limited debate and one motion to recommit allowed. Finally, the Resolution also allows for motions to suspend the rules at specific times.
