Providing for the consideration of the resolution (H. Res. 997) enabling the House of Representatives to be responsive to its membership.

This resolution, H. Res. 999, sets forth the specific procedural framework for the House of Representatives to consider H. Res. 997 , a separate measure designed to enhance the House's responsiveness to its members. It dictates that consideration of H. Res. 997 shall commence immediately upon the adoption of this resolution, without the intervention of any point of order. A significant provision allows for an amendment in the nature of a substitute , if submitted by the ranking minority member of the Committee on Rules at least one day prior, to be automatically considered as adopted. Should multiple such amendments be submitted, only the most recent one will be adopted. The resolution, as amended, will be considered as read, and the previous question will be ordered to adoption without any intervening motion or demand for division of the question. Debate on H. Res. 997 will be strictly limited to one hour , to be equally divided and controlled by the majority and minority leaders or their designees. Additionally, specific House rules, namely Clause 1(c) of rule XIX and Clause 8 of rule XX, are explicitly waived for the consideration of H. Res. 997, further streamlining its path to a vote.
