Bill > HRes174

This Resolution establishes the rules for considering H.R. 1301, a bill that would provide funding for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2017. It waives all procedural objections, known as "points of order," that could prevent the bill from being considered or that could challenge specific parts of the bill. This means the House of Representatives can debate and vote on the bill without these typical procedural hurdles. The resolution also sets a limit of one hour for debate, to be divided equally between the majority and minority leaders of the Committee on Appropriations, and allows for only one motion to send the bill back to committee before a final vote. Additionally, the chair of the Committee on Appropriations is permitted to include explanatory material about H.R. 1301 in the Congressional Record by a specific date.
