HRES-936 : Still Just a Bill

H. Res. 936, a resolution from the 119th Congress, establishes the procedural rules for the House of Representatives to consider six specific legislative measures. The resolution dictates the terms of debate, amendment processes, and other parliamentary considerations for each bill.

Key provisions of this resolution include:

  • H.R. 3898 (Federal Water Pollution Control Act reforms): This bill will receive one hour of general debate. An amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure will be considered adopted. Further amendments will be limited to those specified in Part A of the accompanying Rules Committee report.
  • H.R. 3383 (Investment Company Act of 1940 amendment): This bill will have one hour of general debate. Rules Committee Print 119-15 will be adopted as an amendment in the nature of a substitute. Further amendments will be restricted to those listed in Part B of the Rules Committee report.
  • H.R. 3638 (Electricity supply chain assessment): This bill will receive one hour of general debate, with amendments limited to those specified in Part C of the Rules Committee report.
  • H.R. 3628 (Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act amendment): This bill will be debated for one hour and allows for one specific further amendment as outlined in Part D of the Rules Committee report.
  • H.R. 3668 (Natural Gas Act authorizations): This bill will be considered with one hour of debate. The resolution does not specify any further amendments.
  • S. 1071 (Fernando V. Cota disinterment): Rules Committee Print 119-16 will be adopted as an amendment in the nature of a substitute for this Senate bill, followed by one hour of debate.

For all listed bills, the resolution waives all points of order against their consideration and provisions. For most bills, one motion to recommit is permitted before final passage, while for S. 1071, one motion to commit is allowed. Additionally, the resolution includes a general provision allowing the Speaker to dispense with certain business and approve the Journal on legislative days before January 6, 2026.
