AI Summary

This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering two important pieces of legislation in the House of Representatives: H.R. 2874, a bill aimed at reforming the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to improve its financial stability, make flood risk assessments more accurate using new technology and maps, and increase the involvement of private insurance companies in managing flood risks, and H.R. 2810, a bill authorizing appropriations for fiscal year 2018 for military activities, construction, and defense-related energy activities, as well as setting military personnel strengths. The resolution waives all procedural objections that could prevent these bills from being considered, allows for specific amendments to H.R. 2874 to be adopted, limits debate on both bills, and permits only one motion to recommit each bill before a final vote. It also includes a provision regarding the transmission of a conference report for H.R. 2810 to the Senate, contingent on the Senate passing another bill, H.R. 4374.
