Rule for H.R. 5827
Referred to the House Committee on Rules.
This resolution directs the House to take up H.R. 5827 immediately and sets the procedures for its consideration on the floor. It waives all points of order against consideration and against provisions in the bill, adopts an amendment in the nature of a substitute if Representative Suozzi submits one for printing at least one day before consideration (with only the last such amendment counting), and deems the bill as read. Debate is limited to one hour equally divided between Representative Suozzi and an opponent, the previous question is ordered to final passage, and one motion to recommit is allowed. Two specific House rule clauses are suspended for this consideration, and the Clerk must notify the Senate within one day if the House passes the bill.
This is a House procedural "rule" passed as a simple resolution that governs only House floor action; it is not presented to the President and does not create law. It uses waiver language and time limits to speed consideration of H.R. 5827 and limit amendments and debate.
This House resolution (H.Res.1153) sets the terms for consideration of H.R.5827.
It immediately brings the bill to the floor, waives all points of order, deems a Suozzi amendment-in-the-nature-of-a-substitute adopted if printed at least one day prior, limits debate to one hour (equally divided) plus one motion to recommit, exempts two House rule clauses from applying, and requires the Clerk to notify the Senate of passage within one calendar day.
This rule effectively clears a House path to passage, but ultimate enactment hinges on H.R. 5827's substance and separate Senate and executive considerations.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this resolution is a concise and well-specified special rule that sets clear, actionable terms for consideration of H.R. 5827. It identifies timing, waiver authorities, amendment-adoption conditions, debate allocation, and post-passage transmission obligations.
