Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 788) to limit donations made pursuant to settlement agreements to which the United States is a party, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 98) providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the National Labor Relations Board relating to "Standard for Determining Joint Employer Status''; and providing for consideration of the joint resolution (S.J. Res. 38) providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Federal Highway Administration relating to "Waiver of Buy America Requirements for Electric Vehicle Chargers''.
HRES 947 is a procedural resolution that schedules floor consideration for three separate legislative items. It authorizes debate and voting on: (1) H.R. 788, which would limit government donations in settlement agreements; (2) H.J. Res. 98, seeking to block a labor board rule on joint employer standards; and (3) S.J. Res. 38, aiming to block a transportation rule allowing waivers for electric vehicle charger manufacturing requirements. The resolution waives standard procedural objections and sets specific debate rules for each item. It does not change policy itself but enables Congress to vote on these three proposals.
