Bill > HRes500

This Resolution sets the rules for considering H.R. 3354, a bill that appropriates funds for the Department of the Interior, environment, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018. It allows the House of Representatives to go into a Committee of the Whole to debate and amend the bill, limiting general debate to two hours and generally waiving points of order, which are procedural objections that can stop a bill or amendment. The resolution also specifies that only certain amendments, as outlined in a report from the Committee on Rules, will be allowed, and it streamlines the process for considering groups of amendments and "pro forma" amendments, which are often used for debate. Additionally, it permits motions to suspend the rules at certain times and waives a requirement that usually needs a two-thirds vote to consider certain reports from the Committee on Rules on the same day they are presented.
