HRES-1364 : Still Just a Bill

H. Res. 1364 is a resolution in the House of Representatives that outlines the process for considering H.R. 82, a bill which proposes to amend Title II of the Social Security Act. Specifically, H.R. 82 aims to repeal the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP).

Key aspects of the resolution include:

• Waiving points of order against the consideration of H.R. 82, meaning procedural objections are set aside to allow for debate.
• Considering the bill as already read, expediting the process.
• Limiting debate to one hour, equally divided between Representative Spanberger and an opponent.
• Allowing one motion to recommit, which is a motion to send the bill back to committee for further review.
• Exempting the consideration of H.R. 82 from Clause 1(c) of Rule XIX, which typically requires bills to be debated on a specific day if they are called up by a committee.

In essence, H. Res. 1364 streamlines the path for H.R. 82 to be debated and voted upon in the House.
