Standard Summary

Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This is a procedural resolution (H. Res. 780) that establishes the rules for considering H.R. 1834 in the House of Representatives. The resolution creates a streamlined process for debating and voting on H.R. 1834, which is described only by its title as a bill "to advance policy priorities that will break the gridlock." The resolution waives various procedural objections, allows the ranking minority member to submit a substitute amendment, limits debate to one hour, and requires the bill to be transmitted to the Senate within one day of passage. Notably, the resolution does not describe what H.R. 1834 actually contains—only the procedures for considering it.
