AI Summary
This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering two important pieces of legislation in the House of Representatives. First, it allows for the consideration of H.B. 3798, a bill that would change the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (often called Obamacare) by increasing the number of hours an employee must work per week to be considered "full-time" for the purpose of the employer mandate. Currently, employers are required to offer health insurance to employees working 30 hours or more per week; this bill proposes to raise that threshold to 40 hours. The Resolution waives all objections to considering this bill and makes specific provisions for debate and amendments. Second, it allows for the consideration of a conference report for H.B. 5895, which deals with appropriations for energy and water development for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019. This part of the Resolution also waives objections to its consideration and sets rules for debate and potential motions. Finally, the Resolution outlines procedures for House proceedings during a specific period from September 17 to September 24, 2018, including how the daily journal will be approved and how the House can be adjourned.
