Purpose

This resolution sets the rules for the House of Representatives to consider and vote on H.R. 5827, a bill aimed at advancing bipartisan, common sense solutions. It streamlines the process by limiting debate and amendments.

Key Provisions

• The House must immediately take up H.R. 5827 upon adopting this resolution, with all points of order against its consideration waived.
• An amendment in the nature of a substitute submitted by Representative Suozzi of New York and printed in the Congressional Record at least one day prior will be treated as adopted; if multiple such amendments are submitted, only the last one counts.
• The bill, as amended, is considered read, and all points of order against its provisions are waived.
• Debate is limited to one hour, equally divided between Representative Suozzi (or their designee) and an opponent (or their designee).
• The previous question is ordered, allowing only one motion to recommit before final passage.
• Certain House rules (Clause 1(c) of rule XIX and clause 8 of rule XX) do not apply to this bill's consideration.
• The Clerk must send a message to the Senate about the House's passage of H.R. 5827 within one calendar day after passage.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

This resolution waives standard House procedural rules that normally allow for more debate, amendments, and challenges to bill provisions. It also suspends specific clauses from rules XIX and XX, which typically govern reconsideration and certain voting procedures, to expedite handling of H.R. 5827.

Potential Impacts

• On government agencies: The House and Senate may see faster processing of this bill, potentially affecting legislative workload and timelines.
• On citizens: Indirect effects could arise depending on the final content of H.R. 5827, though the resolution itself focuses on process rather than policy outcomes.
• On international relations: No direct impacts are outlined in the resolution.

Main Stakeholders Affected

• Representative Suozzi of New York, who controls the amendment and debate time.
• Members of the House of Representatives, who must follow the specified debate and voting limits.
• The U.S. Senate, which receives prompt notification of House action.

Notable Legal, Constitutional, or Political Implications

• The resolution exercises the House's constitutional authority to determine its own rules of proceeding, potentially limiting minority input through restricted amendments and debate.
• It introduces a political mechanism to prioritize quick passage of H.R. 5827 while maintaining basic opportunities for opposition, such as the motion to recommit.
