Bill > HRes275

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider H.R. 1695, a bill that aims to give the Register of Copyrights, the official in charge of copyright registration, new duties. Specifically, it allows the Speaker to bring the bill to the floor for debate and amendment, waiving any objections to its consideration. The debate will be limited to one hour, divided equally between the majority and minority parties on the Judiciary Committee, and then the bill will be open for amendments under a specific procedure called the "five-minute rule." Instead of the committee's proposed changes, a different set of amendments will be considered as the base text for further amendments, with strict limitations on what further changes can be proposed and debated. Finally, after all amendments are considered, the bill will be voted on for final passage, with only one opportunity for a motion to send it back to committee.
