Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3001) to advance commonsense priorities.
H. Res. 486 is a House resolution introduced by Representative Fitzpatrick (Pennsylvania) on June 6, 2025. Its purpose is to streamline and dictate the floor process for considering H.R. 3001, a bill described as aiming “to advance commonsense priorities.” The resolution does not change the policy content of H.R. 3001 itself; instead, it sets the rules for how the House will debate and vote on the bill. If adopted, the resolution would accelerate floor action by waiving typical procedural barriers, approving an amendment in the nature of a substitute in advance, and limiting the overall debate and voting process to a tight schedule. Specifically, the rule would: - require immediate motion to proceed to H.R. 3001 upon adoption, with all points of order against consideration waived. - treat a designated substitute amendment as adopted and deem the bill as read after amendment. - waive points of order against provisions in the bill as amended. - push the “previous question” to force final passage with limited debate and no intervening motions, subject to a one-hour split between supporters and opponents and a single motion to recommit. - exempt a particular Rule XIX procedural clause (Clause 1(c)) from applying to this bill, and designate how the substitute amendment is to be received and considered (only the last such amendment would be considered if more than one is submitted).
