Research Brief
On Motion to Discharge
Bill Analysis
H.Res. 780 is a special rule (a House procedural resolution) that sets the terms for considering H.R. 1834, a bill “to advance policy priorities that will break the gridlock.” As a simple House resolution, it does not itself change substantive law or authorize appropriations; instead, it governs how and whether H.R. 1834 may be debated and amended on the House floor.
Core function:
- Provides for consideration of H.R. 1834 under specified procedures (e.g., how much debate time, what amendments are in order, and whether the previous question is ordered).
- Likely includes “self-executing” provisions (standard in modern rules) that may deem certain text adopted or make technical or conforming changes to H.R. 1834 upon adoption of the rule.
- May structure the floor process to expedite or constrain consideration, depending on the majority’s strategy.
Funding/authorities:
- H.Res. 780 itself does not authorize or appropriate funds.
- Any funding, mandates, or authorities would be contained in H.R. 1834, not in this resolution.
Agencies/programs affected:
- Directly affects only the House of Representatives’ internal procedure.
- Indirect effects on agencies or programs depend entirely on the content and eventual passage of H.R. 1834.
Who is affected or regulated:
- Members of the House are the immediate “regulated” parties, as the rule dictates how they may consider H.R. 1834.
- No direct regulatory impact on the public, businesses, or state/local governments arises from H.Res. 780 alone.
Key timelines and procedural status:
- The latest action is procedural: Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries filed notice of intent to offer a motion to discharge the Committee on Rules from further consideration of H.Res. 780 under clause 2(c) of House Rule XV.
- A discharge motion is used when the committee of jurisdiction (here, Rules) does not act; if supported by a House majority, it can force the resolution to the floor.
- The Chair announced the House will entertain Jeffries’s motion within two legislative days, setting a near-term window for possible floor action on the rule and, indirectly, on H.R. 1834.
