Bill > HRes923

This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering two bills in the House of Representatives. First, it allows for further consideration of H.B. 5895, which makes appropriations for energy and water development for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and for other purposes, with specific rules for amendments and debate. Second, it provides for the consideration of H.B. 3, a bill to cancel certain budget authority that the President proposed to rescind on May 8, 2018, as allowed by the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, which is a law governing how the President can propose to withhold or cancel appropriated funds. The resolution also waives certain procedural objections, known as "points of order," to expedite the consideration of both bills and sets limits on debate and the ability to offer further amendments.
