SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment is a technical change to the procedural rules for debating a bill that would extend government surveillance powers (FISA) through 2027. It replaces one section of the debate rules with a new paragraph to ensure the House of Representatives follows the correct legal procedures when voting on the surveillance bill.
§ 04
KEY POINTS
2POINT 01
Updates the specific instructions for how the House will debate and vote on H.R. 8035.
This ensures that the legal framework for the debate is current and follows internal House requirements.
POINT 02
Replaces the text immediately following the formal 'resolving clause' at the start of the resolution.
This is a standard way to make a technical correction to the entire structure of a procedural rule.
