Summary
This resolution, H. RES. 304, proposes to amend House Resolution 211 , which was adopted on March 11, 2025. The primary goal is to ensure that all days occurring during the first session of the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress are treated as "calendar days" for specific legislative purposes. This redefinition of "calendar days" is crucial for the timeline established under section 202 of the National Emergencies Act (NEA) . Specifically, it impacts the process for a joint resolution to terminate a national emergency that was declared by the President on February 1, 2025. By striking section 4 of H. Res. 211, this resolution aims to clarify or expedite the legislative process for ending that particular emergency, with the change taking effect retroactively to the original adoption of House Resolution 211.
