Bill > HRes714

This Resolution sets forth the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider amendments made by the Senate to a bill, H.R. 695, which aims to improve the National Child Protection Act of 1993 by creating a national system for checking the criminal histories of individuals who work with vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, or people with disabilities. Specifically, it allows for a single motion to be made by a representative from the Committee on Appropriations to accept the Senate's changes to the bill's title and its main text, with a specific amendment proposed by the House's Rules Committee. This motion will be debated for one hour, equally split between the committee's chair and the ranking minority member, and then voted on without further debate or amendments.
