Introduced: Feb 4, 2025
Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This document is House Resolution 93, a procedural rule issued by the House to govern the floor consideration of H.R. 27. The rule, dated February 5, 2025, states that it shall be in order to consider H.R. 27, a bill that would amend the Controlled Substances Act with respect to the scheduling of fentanyl-related substances and for other purposes. The rule immediately waives typical points of order against consideration of the bill, adopts an amendment printed in Part A of the Rules Committee report, and treats the bill as read after amendment. It also waives points of order against provisions in the bill as amended and sets the path to final passage with limited debate. Additional procedural details include a one-hour debate split between the chair and ranking member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce (or their designees), the consideration of a further amendment printed in Part B of the Rules report by a designated member, and a single motion to recommit. In short, this rule is designed to fast-track the floor consideration and passage of H.R. 27, conditioning debate and amendments as specified.
