AI Summary

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider a bill called S. 524, which aims to allow the Attorney General to give grants to combat the widespread problems of prescription opioid abuse and heroin use. It waives any objections to bringing the bill up for debate and automatically incorporates a substitute amendment made up of several other House bills, making the bill as amended ready for a final vote after one hour of debate and one motion to send it to a conference committee. The resolution also clarifies that if S. 524 passes, the House will ask the Senate to form a conference committee to resolve any differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill.
