Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4) to rescind certain budget authority proposed to be rescinded in special messages transmitted to the Congress by the President on June 3, 2025, in accordance with section 1012(a) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, and for other purposes.

H.R. 4 is a bill that would rescind certain budget authority that the President purportedly plans to rescind in a June 3, 2025, special message under the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The accompanying House Resolution (H.Res. 499) provides a structured rule for considering H.R. 4 in the House. It waives typical points of order against consideration and provisions, sets limited debate (one hour, split between leaders or their designees), and allows one motion to recommit. It also specifies that certain procedural requirements under the Impoundment Control Act (specifically section 1017) would not apply to a bill introduced in response to the June 3, 2025 special message. Finally, it states that House Resolution 492 is adopted, indicating a procedural or administrative step related to the rule. In short, the package is designed to fast-track consideration of H.R. 4, a measure aimed at reversing the President’s proposed rescissions of budget authority, by relaxing procedural hurdles and enabling a swift vote.
