Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
This resolution tells the House how to consider three specific bills about law enforcement. It adopts the committee-recommended substitute text for each bill, waives points of order that might block consideration, and declares each bill as read so no further formal reading is required. Debate on each bill is limited to one hour split evenly between the committee chair and the ranking minority member, and only one motion to recommit is allowed. The resolution itself does not become law; it only sets the House's rules for debating and voting on those bills.
This is a House-only simple resolution that sets floor procedures and is not presented to the President or binding law. It waives all points of order, orders the previous question (preventing other intervening motions), limits debate to one hour equally divided, and allows one motion to recommit.
H.
Res. 405 is a House floor rule resolving that three specified bills (H.R.2240, H.R.2243, H.R.2255) be considered.
It waives all points of order against consideration and provisions in those bills, deems the Judiciary Committee substitutes adopted and the bills as read, limits debate to one hour (divided between committee chair and ranking member), and allows one motion to recommit.
Likely to clear House; Senate hurdles and gun-related controversy reduce prospects of enactment without compromise.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this resolution is a concise and typical House special rule that authorizes floor consideration of three bills and prescribes core procedural parameters (waivers, adoption of committee substitutes, debate limits, and one motion to recommit).

This persona will view the resolution mainly as a procedural fast-track for three law-enforcement-focused bills.
They may appreciate a requirement for Attorney General reporting, but worry the package eases concealed-carry and weapon-purchase rules for officers while minimizing debate and oversight.
This persona treats H.
Res. 405 as a standard House procedure to schedule floor consideration.
They weigh the value of timely debate on officer safety against the reduced time and waived points of order, preferring modest changes to allow fuller review if needed.
This persona will generally support the resolution as it expedites consideration of bills strengthening law-enforcement protections and firearm-related authorities.
They view waived points of order and limited debate as reasonable to advance pro-police legislative priorities quickly.
