These are the headline bills of the week. Each one goes through the House Rules Committee, which sets debate time and amendment rules. Rule bills require a simple majority (218 votes). This is where appropriations bills, reconciliation packages, and major policy overhauls appear.
Suspension bills skip the Rules Committee entirely. They require a two-thirds majority, debate is capped at 40 minutes, and no amendments are allowed. Most are non-controversial — post office namings, technical corrections, reauthorizations — but leadership occasionally uses suspension for substantive legislation.
Note: Suspension bills are often added to the schedule with very little advance notice. Sign up for alerts so you don't miss them.
A catch-all category for items not yet formally scheduled: rules committee resolutions, procedural motions, and bills leadership is considering but hasn't committed to bringing to the floor.
The House floor schedule changes throughout the week. Visit The Capitol Wire's live dashboard for a real-time view of all bills currently on the agenda.
The House typically votes on 10–30 bills per week when in session. This includes 2–5 major bills under a rule and 8–25 suspension bills. The exact number varies based on legislative priorities.
A suspension bill bypasses the normal committee and rules process. It requires a two-thirds majority, limits debate to 40 minutes, and allows no amendments. Typically used for non-controversial legislation.
The Majority Leader posts a preliminary schedule at majorityleader.gov, usually on Friday. The House Clerk publishes the detailed schedule with bill PDFs at docs.house.gov/floor/.
Yes. Bills can be added with only hours of notice, especially suspension bills. This is why real-time monitoring tools like The Capitol Wire are valuable — they detect changes the moment they appear.
