Us Congress House Bill HR134

Introduced
2/13/25  

Caption

Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 185) to advance responsible policies.

Impact

The resolution includes provisions for the consideration of amendments to the bill, specifically allowing for an amendment from the ranking minority member of the Committee on Rules, which will be treated as adopted without further debate. This provision ensures that there is a structured approach to the amendments that can be made to HB185, still maintaining a level of fairness in the legislative process. The bill as amended will then be read without further points of order being raised against it, facilitating a quicker pathway towards a vote on the final passage.

Summary

House Resolution 134 is a procedural measure that facilitates the consideration of another piece of legislation, specifically House Bill 185. The focus of HR134 is to advance responsible policies and ensure that the debate around HB185 is conducted efficiently. Upon the adoption of this resolution, the House will immediately take up HB185, waiving all points of order against its consideration. This means that no technical or procedural objections can delay the discussions on HB185, allowing for a more streamlined legislative process.

Contention

One notable aspect of HR134 is the explicit waiver of certain rules, such as Clause 1(c) of rule XIX and clause 8 of rule XX, which typically govern debate and amendment procedures. By bypassing these rules, the resolution allows for a more expedited process, but it may also raise concerns among some lawmakers about a lack of thorough examination and discussion regarding the contents of HB185. This could lead to criticisms from those who believe in meticulous legislative scrutiny or from members of the minority party who feel the process is being rushed.
