This House resolution sets the rules for how the House will consider H.R. 185. It orders immediate consideration and waives all points of order against taking up the bill. An amendment in the nature of a substitute is treated as adopted. That substitute is the text of H.R. 1768 as introduced, modified by an amendment submitted for printing at least one day before consideration if submitted by the ranking minority member. If more than one such modification is submitted, the last one received is used. Clause 1(c) of House Rule XIX does not apply to consideration of H.R. 185. The bill, as amended, is considered as read. Debate is limited to one hour, equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Energy and Commerce (or their designees). One motion to recommit is allowed. The previous question is ordered to final passage.
This resolution is procedural. It does not change policy on its own. It sets a specific, limited process for debating and amending H.R. 185. Because points of order are waived and debate time is limited, there will be fewer procedural objections and less time for floor amendments than under open rules. The Committee on Energy and Commerce members and leadership named in the resolution will control the allotted debate time and amendment submission described in the resolution.
