Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 115) to amend chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, to provide for en bloc consideration in resolutions of disapproval for "midnight rules'', and for other purposes.

HRES 1616 is a procedural resolution that establishes rules for the House to consider H.R. 115, a bill targeting "midnight rules" (regulations issued near the end of a presidential term). It waives objections to H.R. 115, limits debate to one hour, and allows the bill to proceed to a final vote without further amendments. This resolution directly affects the House's legislative process for reviewing H.R. 115, which aims to change how federal agencies' "midnight rules" can be blocked. The summary focuses solely on the procedural mechanics of HRES 1616, not the policy of H.R. 115.
