Establishing the Task Force on the Legislative Process.
HCONRES 7 establishes a 12-member bipartisan Task Force to analyze ways to expedite consideration of bills that have already passed one chamber with broad support (unanimous consent, voice vote, or 2/3 approval). The Task Force, appointed with balanced representation from both parties and leadership in each chamber, will study mechanisms for "bicameral legislation expedition" and produce a report with recommendations within one year. This report will be posted publicly by the House and Senate Rules Committees. The bill itself creates no new laws but directs Congress to examine procedural improvements for faster legislative action on widely supported bills.
