Providing for consideration of the Senate amendment to the concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 14) establishing the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034, and for other purposes.
H. Res. 313 is a House Rules resolution that sets the procedural path for the House to consider the Senate’s amendment to H. Con. Res. 14, the concurrent resolution that would establish the congressional budget for FY 2025 and set budgetary levels for FY 2026–2034. When adopted, the resolution makes it in order for the House to take up the Senate-amended budget resolution and to consider a motion by the chair of the Budget Committee (or their designee) to concur in the Senate amendment. The motion to concur is to be read, debatable for one hour (divided equally between the chair and the ranking minority member on the Budget Committee or their designees), and the “previous question” (closing debate) is to be considered as ordered on the motion to adoption. In addition, the resolution includes a provision affecting the counting of calendar days under the National Emergencies Act. In short, this is a procedural rule that governs how and when the House can debate and vote on the Senate’s budget amendment, not a substantive change to spending itself. It also includes a temporary rule about how certain days are counted toward emergency-termination timelines.
Key Points
- 1Provides for the House to take from the Speaker’s table the Senate-amended H. Con. Res. 14 and to consider a motion to concur in the Senate amendment, with the Senate amendment and the motion read on the floor.
- 2The motion to concur is debatable for one hour, with time equally divided between the chair and the ranking minority member of the Committee on the Budget (or their designees).
- 3The previous question is ordered on the motion to adopt (i.e., limits further parliamentary delay once a vote on the motion to concur begins).
- 4The debate on the motion to concur is to proceed under the normal floor procedures for a Rules resolution, including being read and subject to standard points of order.
- 5Section 2: From April 9, 2025, through September 30, 2025, those days do not count as calendar days under section 202 of the National Emergencies Act for purposes of a joint resolution terminating the President’s national emergency declared on April 2, 2025. This affects how the emergency-termination clock runs during this period.
