Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 276) to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America", and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 881) to establish Department of Homeland Security funding restrictions on institutions of higher education that have a relationship with Confucius Institutes, and for other purposes.
This resolution establishes the procedural rules for the House of Representatives to consider two specific legislative measures. It outlines the process for H.R. 276, a bill proposing to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" , by waiving points of order and adopting a committee substitute. Additionally, the resolution sets the framework for H.R. 881, which seeks to establish Department of Homeland Security funding restrictions on higher education institutions with ties to Confucius Institutes. For both bills, all points of order against their consideration and provisions are waived, and a specific substitute text is adopted. Each bill will be subject to one hour of debate, equally divided, and will allow for one motion to recommit before a final vote.
