On Agreeing to the Resolution
Bill Analysis
H.Res. 780 is a House procedural measure (a “rule”) that sets the terms for floor consideration of H.R. 1834, a separate bill titled “to advance policy priorities that will break the gridlock.” As a simple House resolution, it does not create statutory law, authorize or appropriate funds, or directly regulate individuals or entities. Instead, it governs how the House will debate and vote on H.R. 1834.
Key functions and authorities:
Adopts a special rule from the House Committee on Rules specifying:
- How much floor debate time is allotted for H.R. 1834 and how that time is divided (typically between majority and minority managers).
- Whether H.R. 1834 is considered under “closed,” “structured,” or “open” rules for amendments (i.e., whether amendments are allowed, and if so, which ones).
- What points of order under House rules or the Congressional Budget Act are waived for consideration of H.R. 1834 (for example, waiving rules about germaneness or budget enforcement).
- The form in which H.R. 1834 is brought up (e.g., as reported by a committee or with a Rules Committee “self-executing” amendment).
May also provide for:
- Ordering the previous question, which limits further debate and amendment on the rule itself.
- The sequence of votes (e.g., on amendments, motions to recommit, and final passage of H.R. 1834).
- Possible consideration of related procedural motions.
Programs, agencies, and beneficiaries are affected only indirectly, through the underlying bill H.R. 1834, not through H.Res. 780 itself. H.Res. 780’s primary “regulated” parties are House members, whose debate and amendment rights are structured by the rule.
Timeline: The latest action indicates that, after debate on H.Res. 780, the Chair announced by voice vote that the resolution appeared agreed to, but a recorded vote (yeas and nays) was demanded. Further proceedings on agreeing to the rule were postponed to a later time to be announced. The rule does not take effect unless and until the House formally agrees to H.Res. 780 by recorded or final vote.
