Key provisions in H.Res. 977
- H.R. 4593 and H.R. 6938 would count as already read in full. Members could not use points of order, which are procedural objections, to challenge debate on those bills or their provisions.
- For H.R. 5184, the House would automatically use the Energy and Commerce Committee's replacement version before floor debate starts.
- Each of the three bills would get one hour of debate. That time would be split evenly between the majority and minority leaders, or their chosen stand-ins, on the relevant committees.
- Each bill would allow only one motion to recommit, which is a final request to send the bill back to committee. The rule limits other floor motions and chances to offer amendments.
- For H.R. 6938, the House would first vote on whether to keep Division A. It would then vote on whether to keep Divisions B and C before voting to prepare the final text and read it a third time.
