HRES 999 United States House · 119th Congress

Providing for the consideration of the resolution (H. Res. 997) enabling the House of Representatives to be responsive to its membership.

HRES 999 is a procedural resolution that allows the U.S. House of Representatives to immediately consider H. Res. 997 without usual procedural delays. It removes standard rules that might block consideration (like points of order) and sets a one-hour debate limit equally split between party leaders. This resolution directly affects House leadership and committee procedures by streamlining the process for voting on H. Res. 997, which aims to make the House more responsive to its members. The bill itself does not change substantive policy but modifies how the House handles this specific resolution.
