Bill > HRes1077

This Resolution sets the rules for considering several important legislative items in the House of Representatives. First, it allows for the consideration of a conference report, which is a final version of a bill agreed upon by both the House and Senate, for H.B. 6157, a bill that provides funding for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019. This means that any objections to this report are waived, and it will be voted on after a limited debate and a potential motion to send it back for changes. Second, the Resolution allows for the consideration of H. Res. 1071, a resolution that expresses the view that allowing individuals who are in the country illegally to vote would weaken the value of voting for U.S. citizens. This resolution will also be debated for a limited time. Finally, the Resolution permits the Speaker to allow motions to suspend the rules, a procedure used for quickly passing non-controversial legislation, on specific days.
