WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-written
This resolution matters because it's a critical step in the legislative process for H.R. 999, a bill intended to codify protections for contraception access. If this resolution passes, it clears the way for a quick vote on H.R. 999 in the House, bypassing many of the traditional lengthy debates and amendment processes that can slow down or kill legislation.
By limiting debate and waiving procedural objections, this resolution demonstrates an urgency from its proponents to bring H.R. 999 to a final vote in the House. Voters who support the protections offered by H.R. 999 would likely see this as a positive move to advance their interests, while those who oppose H.R. 999 or prefer a more open debate process might view it as an attempt to rush legislation without proper scrutiny. Without this procedural resolution, H.R. 999 could face more delays, extensive debate, or numerous amendments.
KEY PROVISIONS
4AI-extracted
PROVISION 01
Allows immediate consideration of H.R. 999 in the House of Representatives.
This provision ensures that the bill protecting contraception access will be debated and voted on without delay.
PROVISION 02
Waives all procedural objections, known as 'points of order,' against considering H.R. 999 and against its specific contents.
This prevents lawmakers from using procedural rules to block the bill from coming to a vote or challenging its specific sections.
PROVISION 03
Limits debate on H.R. 999 to one hour, equally divided between the two parties, and allows for only one motion to send the bill back to committee.
This severely restricts the time for discussion and the ability of members to propose changes or delay the bill, speeding up its passage.
PROVISION 04
Requires the House Clerk to transmit H.R. 999 to the Senate within one week after it passes the House.
This sets a timeline for moving the bill to the next legislative chamber, ensuring its prompt consideration in the Senate if approved by the House.
