Bill > HRes1051

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider a bill, H.R. 6691, which aims to clarify the definition of a "crime of violence" within Title 18 of the United States Code, a section of federal law that deals with crimes and criminal procedure. Specifically, the resolution waives all procedural objections that could prevent the bill from being considered, ensures the bill is treated as if it has been read, and also waives objections to any specific parts of the bill. It allows for one hour of debate on the bill, split equally between the majority and minority party leaders on the Judiciary Committee, and permits one motion to send the bill back for further review before a final vote. Additionally, the resolution allows the Speaker of the House to entertain motions to suspend the rules, a procedure used for quickly passing non-controversial legislation, on a specific day, with consultation with the Minority Leader.
