HRES-436 : Still Just a Bill

This House Resolution (H. Res. 436) sets the terms for considering H.R. 1, a bill related to reconciliation under title II of H. Con. Res. 14. Key provisions include:
  • Waiving all points of order against the bill's consideration.
  • Adopting an amendment in the nature of a substitute, consisting of the text of Rules Committee Print 119-3, modified by a specified amendment.
  • Waiving all points of order against provisions in the amended bill.
  • Limiting debate to two hours, divided equally between designees of the chairs and ranking minority members of the Budget and Ways and Means Committees.
  • Allowing one motion to recommit.
  • Exempting the bill and its amendments from clause 5(b) of rule XXI, which typically requires a three-fifths vote to pass certain income tax rate increases.
In essence, this resolution streamlines the process for debating and voting on H.R. 1.
