Referred to the House Committee on Rules.
This resolution sets the House floor rules for considering four specific measures. It makes those measures eligible for immediate debate and vote by waiving technical objections, treating the texts as read, and adopting a committee-recommended substitute for one bill. It also limits debate time (usually one hour split between the two sides) and allows only one motion to commit or to recommit. The resolution itself is a House rule that governs how those pieces of legislation will be handled, not a law and not sent to the President.
This is a House “rule” (a simple resolution) that must be adopted by the House to take effect; it is not binding law and is not sent to the President. It waives points of order, restricts debate to one hour divided between managers named, deems measures read, and permits a single motion to commit or recommit as specified.
This House resolution (H.
Res. 287) provides the terms for floor consideration of four measures: two Congressional Review Act joint resolutions disapproving CFPB rules (S.J. Res. 18 and S.J. Res. 24), H.R. 1526 (limits on district courts’ authority to issue injunctions), and H.R. 22 (requires proof of U.S. citizenship for federal voter registration).
The resolution waives all points of order against consideration and provisions in each measure, deems certain committee amendments adopted or bills read, and sets strict debate limits and a single motion to commit or recommit as applicable.
Enabling resolution eases House floor action but measures are polarizing and face major Senate and legal hurdles, reducing enactment chances.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a focused procedural/agenda-setting resolution that clearly and specifically prescribes the terms for House consideration of four measures; its level of procedural detail is appropriate for that purpose.

Progressives emphasize consumer, voting, and civil-rights harms.
Likely to view the resolution negatively because it fast-tracks measures seen as rolling back consumer protections, judicial remedies, and voting access.
Opposes waiving points of order and curtailed debate, which limits scrutiny of substantive impacts on civil rights and consumers.
Mixed view: appreciates orderly procedures and Congressional review of agency actions but worries about broad waivers and limited debate on consequential policies.
Sees potential legitimate oversight needs but is concerned about legal uncertainty and unintended harms.
Generally favorable: supports expedited consideration of measures that reins in perceived regulatory overreach, limits judicial activism, and strengthens election integrity via citizenship verification.
Views procedural waivers as necessary to advance priority legislation.
