Sets special rules for how lawmakers debate a government spending bill.

This resolution would create specific rules for how the House of Representatives considers H.R. 7006, a bill that sets aside money for the government's budget year. It would limit how long lawmakers can debate the spending bill and restrict which changes (amendments) they can offer, aiming to speed up the process for this particular piece of legislation.

What Would Change

Today, bills in the House generally follow standard rules for debate and amendments, allowing for more procedural objections and a wider range of changes to be offered. After this resolution, H.R. 7006 would be considered under special rules that waive many procedural steps, limit general debate to one hour, restrict amendments to only those pre-approved by the Rules Committee, and would quickly move to a final vote by ordering the 'previous question' with only one chance to send the bill back to committee. This would make the process for this specific spending bill much faster and more controlled.

Key Provisions

Allows the Speaker of the House to bring H.R. 7006, a spending bill, to a vote at any time after this resolution is adopted.
Waives most procedural objections against H.R. 7006 and its parts, speeding up its consideration.
Limits general debate on H.R. 7006 to one hour, shared by the leaders of the Appropriations Committee.
Restricts lawmakers to offering only specific changes (amendments) that are pre-approved by the House Rules Committee.
Prevents any further changes to the pre-approved amendments during debate.
Orders the 'previous question' on the bill and any adopted changes, which means there would be no further debate or motions before a final vote, except for one chance to send the bill back to committee.
