This House Resolution establishes the specific procedural framework for the House of Representatives to consider H.J. Res. 143, a joint resolution intended to advance important policies. It mandates immediate consideration of H.J. Res. 143 and waives all points of order against both its consideration and its provisions, thereby expediting the legislative process. A key provision allows for the automatic adoption of an amendment in the nature of a substitute and a subsequent amendment to the title , provided they are submitted by the ranking minority member of the Committee on Rules at least one day prior to consideration. Debate on the joint resolution is limited to one hour, equally divided, and only one motion to recommit is permitted before final passage. Finally, the resolution directs the Clerk to transmit the passed H.J. Res. 143 to the Senate within three calendar days.
