Bill > HRes732

This Resolution sets the rules for debating and amending House Bill 4909, which concerns authorizing money for the Department of Defense's military activities and construction, and setting the number of military personnel for the 2017 fiscal year. Specifically, it allows the Speaker of the House to bring the bill to the floor for consideration, waiving all objections to its consideration and limiting general debate to one hour. It also establishes that a modified version of the bill, as recommended by the Committee on Armed Services and further adjusted by the Rules Committee, will be considered the base text for further amendments. The resolution outlines a strict process for considering additional amendments, allowing only those specifically listed in the Rules Committee's report, and waiving all objections to these amendments as well. It also permits amendments to be grouped together for a single debate and vote, with further restrictions on their amendment and division. Finally, it dictates that after all amendments are considered, the House will automatically move to the next stage without further debate on the bill unless a new order is issued.
