Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1) to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14.

This House resolution (H. Res. 436) serves as a structured rule for the subsequent consideration of H.R. 1, a bill described as providing for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14. In short, the resolution schedules the bill for floor action, adopts an amendment in the nature of a substitute (based on Rules Committee Print 119-3 and modified by an accompanying report), and sets limited debate and amendment procedures. It waives all points of order against the bill and its provisions as amended, and directs that the bill, as amended, be read and proceed to final passage with minimal procedural obstacles. The rule specifies two hours of debate split among designated leaders of the Budget and Ways and Means committees (and their designees) and allows one motion to recommit. It also excludes Clause 5(b) of Rule XXI from applying to the bill or amendments. In effect, the resolution is designed to expedite the House’s consideration and passage of H.R. 1 by reconciliation, constraining amendments and limiting debate to a defined group of party-designated leaders and ensuring a relatively swift path to a final vote.
