AI Summary

This Resolution sets the rules for considering a bill, H.R. 1219, in the House of Representatives, which aims to amend the Investment Company Act of 1940.

The Resolution waives all procedural objections to considering and passing this bill, allowing for one hour of debate and limiting further actions to one motion to recommit. Additionally, it outlines procedures for House proceedings between April 7 and April 24, 2017, including how the daily journal is approved and the Speaker's authority to adjourn the House and appoint Members to act as Chair.
