HRES-211 : Still Just a Bill

H. Res. 211 is a resolution from the House of Representatives that outlines the procedures for considering three separate pieces of legislation:

  1. H.J. Res. 25: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rule regarding "Gross Proceeds Reporting by Brokers That Regularly Provide Services Effectuating Digital Asset Sales". This means Congress is considering overturning an IRS rule related to how brokers report transactions involving digital assets.
  2. H.R. 1156: A bill to amend the CARES Act, specifically to extend the statute of limitations for fraud related to certain unemployment programs. This bill aims to provide more time to prosecute individuals who committed fraud in unemployment programs established under the CARES Act.
  3. H.R. 1968: A bill making further continuing appropriations and other extensions for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025. This is a bill to continue funding government operations and extend certain programs beyond their current expiration dates.

The resolution also includes a provision that each day for the remainder of the first session of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622) with respect to a joint resolution terminating a national emergency declared by the President on February 1, 2025.

H. Res. 211 sets the terms of debate and amendments for each of these bills, typically waiving certain points of order to expedite the process.
