Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 5893) making appropriations for the Departments of Commerce and Justice, Science, and Related Agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, and for other purposes, and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 5961) to freeze certain Iranian funds involved in the 2023 hostage deal between the United States and Iran, and for other purposes.
HRES 869 is a procedural resolution that establishes rules for the House to debate and vote on two specific bills. It sets time limits for debate (one hour total), waives points of order, and outlines amendment procedures for H.R. 5893 (which funds Commerce, Justice, Science, and related agencies for fiscal year 2024) and H.R. 5961 (which would freeze Iranian funds tied to a 2023 hostage deal). This resolution itself does not change policy but enables the House to consider these bills under defined procedural rules. It directly affects the legislative process for these two bills, not the public or specific entities.
