Bill > HRes560

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider two important pieces of legislation. First, it allows for the consideration of a conference report, which is a final version of a bill agreed upon by both the House and Senate, for H.R. 644, a bill aimed at reauthorizing (extending the authority for) trade facilitation and trade enforcement functions and activities. The resolution waives any procedural objections that might prevent this conference report from being considered and adopted, limiting debate to one hour and allowing for only one motion to send the bill back for further changes if applicable. Second, it provides for the consideration of Senate amendments to H.R. 2250, a bill making appropriations (funding) for the Legislative Branch for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016. This part of the resolution allows the House to consider a single motion to accept the Senate's changes to this funding bill, with debate limited to one hour equally divided between the majority and minority parties on the Appropriations Committee, and it also waives any procedural objections to this process.
