H. Res. 1377 is a House rules resolution that sets how four separate House bills will be considered on the floor. It makes H.R. 1181, H.R. 9022, H.R. 8595, and H.R. 9237 in order for consideration and sets specific debate and amendment procedures for each.
For H.R. 1181 (merchant category code changes), the resolution: waives points of order; adopts the Committee on Financial Services' amendment in the nature of a substitute as adopted; makes the bill considered as read; limits debate to one hour equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Financial Services; and allows one motion to recommit.
For H.R. 9022 (energy and water appropriations) and H.R. 8595 (national security and State Department appropriations), the resolution: allows the Speaker to send each bill to the Committee of the Whole for consideration; dispenses with the first reading; waives points of order against consideration; limits general debate to one hour equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations; makes the bill considered as read; confines amendment activity to amendments printed in the Committee on Rules report (parts A or B), en bloc amendments from the Appropriations chair, and pro forma amendments; allows the Appropriations chair to offer en bloc amendments debatable for 20 minutes; allows each Appropriations leadership designee to offer up to 10 pro forma amendments for debate; and orders the previous question to final passage with one motion to recommit.
For H.R. 9237 (veterans benefits and VA administration), the resolution: waives points of order; adopts the amendment printed in part C of the Committee on Rules report as adopted; makes the bill considered as read; limits debate to one hour equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Veterans' Affairs; and allows one motion to recommit.
Across these items, the resolution routinely waives certain points of order, specifies which printed amendments are in order, sets time limits for debate, permits en bloc amendment offers, and restricts amendment offers to designated members or printed amendments.
This resolution is a procedural step in the House of Representatives. It controls how and when four bills will be debated and amended on the House floor. It affects the timing, the allowed amendments, and how long members can debate those bills, but it does not itself change policy or appropriate funds.
The resolution does not list any spending figures. It arranges floor consideration of two appropriations bills (H.R. 9022 and H.R. 8595), but the resolution text does not include or describe the funding amounts in those bills. No publicly available information on costs is contained in this resolution text.
