Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1101) to prohibit unlawful access to the payment system of the Bureau of the Fiscal Service within the Department of the Treasury, and for other purposes.
H. Res. 250 is a House Rules Resolution that provides the procedural framework to consider H.R. 1101, a bill aimed at prohibiting unlawful access to the payment system of the Bureau of the Fiscal Service within the Department of the Treasury (with some unspecified “other purposes”). Introduced March 25, 2025 by Rep. Casten (and Rep. Stevens) and referred to the Rules Committee, the resolution immediately orders the House to proceed to the bill’s consideration upon adoption and waives typical points of order against both the process and the bill’s provisions. It sets a tight, expedited path to final passage, including a one-hour total debate and a single motion to recommit, and directs the Clerk to transmit the bill to the Senate within a week after passage. In short, the resolution is a procedural tool to fast-track the bill through the House.
