AI Summary
This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering a Senate amendment to House Bill 195, which aims to limit the distribution of free printed copies of the Federal Register, the official daily publication of the U.S. government, to Members of Congress and other federal officials. Specifically, it allows for the House to consider the Senate's changes to the bill and to potentially amend those changes with specific text from a Rules Committee Print, with a set debate time and a waiver of certain procedural requirements to expedite the process. The Resolution also waives a rule that typically requires a two-thirds vote to consider reports from the Committee on Rules on the same day they are presented, and it allows the Speaker to entertain motions to suspend the rules at any time until January 20, 2018, with consultation with the Minority Leader.
