This House Resolution establishes the procedural rules for the immediate consideration of H.R. 6039 , a bill titled "to advance commonsense priorities." It explicitly waives all points of order that could be raised against both the consideration of the bill and its provisions once amended, thereby streamlining its path to a vote. A significant provision allows for an amendment in the nature of a substitute , submitted by the ranking minority member of the Committee on Rules, to be automatically considered as adopted. If multiple such amendments are submitted, only the last one will be adopted, and the bill will then be considered as read in its amended form. Following these procedural steps, the resolution limits debate on the bill to one hour, equally divided between the majority and minority leaders, and permits only one motion to recommit before the final passage vote. Furthermore, specific House rules (Clause 1(c) of rule XIX and clause 8 of rule XX) are made inapplicable to the consideration of H.R. 6039. Finally, the Clerk is directed to transmit the passed bill to the Senate within one calendar day after its passage.
