House would set special rules to quickly consider a bill on "commonsense priorities."

This resolution would create special rules for how the House of Representatives considers another bill, H.R. 6039. If adopted, the House would immediately begin debating H.R. 6039 under these new rules. This would limit debate time, prevent certain objections, and allow a specific amendment to be automatically added, speeding up the process for H.R. 6039.

What Would Change

Today, H.R. 6039 would be considered under the regular rules of the House, allowing for more debate, various motions, and standard amendment procedures. If this resolution were adopted, the House would immediately consider H.R. 6039 under special, expedited rules, including waiving most objections, limiting debate to one hour, and automatically adopting a specific amendment.
