Research Brief
On Ordering the Previous Question
Bill Analysis
H.Res. 1115 is a House procedural resolution (a “rule”) that sets the terms for floor consideration of three specific bills and temporarily modifies how the House may consider additional legislation.
Covered Bills and Debate Structure
- H.R. 556 (lead ammunition and tackle on federal lands/waters): The rule specifies how much floor debate time is allowed, how that time is divided between majority and minority, and what amendments (if any) are in order. It also designates which committee reports, if filed, are considered as read and may waive certain points of order against the bill’s consideration.
- H.R. 1958 (immigration consequences for fraud/public benefits offenses): Similarly, the resolution sets the debate length, amendment process, and any waivers of House rules for considering this bill, which would alter inadmissibility and deportability grounds in the Immigration and Nationality Act.
- H.R. 4638 (immigration consequences for harming law-enforcement animals): The rule provides the same type of procedural framework—debate time, amendment structure, and applicable waivers—for this immigration-related bill.
Authorities and House Rules Affected
- The resolution is adopted under the House’s constitutional authority to determine its own rules (Article I, Section 5). It does not amend permanent House rules but creates a special order of business for these measures.
- It may waive specific standing rules or clauses (e.g., relating to germaneness, budget points of order, or prior report availability) as they apply to the three bills, thereby smoothing their path to a floor vote.
Suspension of the Rules
- The resolution also includes provisions “relating to consideration of motions to suspend the rules,” typically expanding or constraining when and how the House may use the expedited “suspension” procedure during a defined period. This affects the scheduling and passage threshold (two-thirds vote) for additional, usually less controversial, measures.
Beneficiaries/Regulated Parties and Funding
- H.Res. 1115 itself regulates only House floor procedure; it does not authorize or appropriate funds, nor directly regulate individuals or agencies. Substantive effects fall to H.R. 556, H.R. 1958, and H.R. 4638, which this resolution enables to be considered and voted on.
