H.RES. 518 — Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2913)

Current Status

In Progress

Closed Rule with Blanket Waivers and Delay Restrictions

The resolution waives all points of order against the bill and its consideration. It operates as a closed rule by ordering the previous question without making any amendments in order. Furthermore, it explicitly waives Clause 1(c) of Rule XIX and Clause 8 of Rule XX, which strips the minority of standard parliamentary delay tactics.

Procedural Analysis

  • Waives all points of order against consideration and provisions in the bill, bypassing any potential Budget, PAYGO, or germaneness objections.
  • Orders the previous question directly to final passage (with the exception of one motion to recommit), effectively shutting out any floor amendments.
  • Suspends specific House rules (Rule XIX cl. 1(c) and Rule XX cl. 8) to prevent the minority from using standard parliamentary delay tactics, such as postponing votes.
  • Includes an unusual provision (Sec. 3) dictating the exact timing for the Clerk to transmit the passed bill to the Senate.
