Current Status

Self-Executing Amendment & Limited Amendments

The rule contains a self-executing provision (part A amendment adopted upon rule passage) and severely limits amendments to those pre-printed in part B of the Rules Committee report, effectively shutting down open debate.

Rule Type
Modified Closed Rule
Debate Time
1 Hour
Amendments
Limited to those pre-printed in Part B of the Rules Committee report.

Procedural Analysis

  • The self-executing amendment significantly reduces the opportunity for the House to debate and vote on the specific provisions contained within Part A of the Rules Committee report.
  • Limiting amendments to those pre-printed in the Rules Committee report restricts the ability of individual members to offer alternative proposals or address unforeseen issues during the amendment process.
