Bill > HRes303

This Resolution establishes the rules for considering two important bills in the House of Representatives. First, it allows for the consideration of H.R. 2685, a bill that would fund the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016, by setting limits on debate time and waiving certain procedural objections, or "points of order," that could otherwise prevent the bill from being considered or amended. Second, it allows for the consideration of H.R. 2393, a bill that would repeal "country of origin labeling" (COOL) requirements for beef, pork, and chicken, meaning that labels indicating where these meats were raised would no longer be mandatory. This Resolution also streamlines the process for H.R. 2393 by considering a proposed amendment as adopted and waiving points of order, with limited debate and one opportunity for a motion to recommit before a final vote.
