Bill > HRes996

This Resolution sets the rules for considering H.R. 6147, a bill that makes appropriations, or allocates funds, for the Department of the Interior, the environment, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019. It allows the Speaker of the House to bring the bill to the floor for debate and amendment, waiving all objections to its consideration. The resolution limits general debate to one hour and specifies that amendments will be considered under a "five-minute rule," meaning each amendment can be debated for a short period. Importantly, it states that a specific proposed substitute amendment, known as Rules Committee Print 115-81, will be considered as adopted, and the bill, as modified by this substitute, will be treated as the original text for further amendments. While most objections to the bill's content are waived, some specific objections related to certain pages and lines are still permitted. The resolution also allows for up to 10 "pro forma" amendments, which are essentially placeholder amendments for debate purposes, to be offered by members of the Committee on Appropriations. Finally, it outlines the process for reporting the bill back to the House after amendments are considered, with a final vote on the bill.
