Bill Analysis
H.Res. 1057 is a House rules resolution that structures floor consideration of four separate bills and temporarily waives a standard procedural requirement.
Overall Function
- It is not a substantive policy bill; it sets the terms for House debate and amendment on:
- S. 1383 – establishing a Veterans Advisory Committee on Equal Access (veterans’ services/equity).
- H.R. 2189 – updating federal firearms laws to address new technologies and less‑than‑lethal weapons.
- H.R. 261 – amending the National Marine Sanctuaries Act to bar sanctuary-specific permits for undersea fiber optic cables when those activities are already authorized by another federal or state agency.
- H.R. 3617 – amending the Department of Energy Organization Act to secure supplies of critical energy resources (including critical minerals and related materials).
- It is not a substantive policy bill; it sets the terms for House debate and amendment on:
Procedural Authorities and Structure
- Specifies what kind of rule applies to each bill (e.g., “closed” or “structured” rule), which determines:
- Whether amendments are allowed and, if so, which ones.
- How much debate time is provided and how it is divided between majority and minority.
- What prior points of order against consideration or specific provisions are waived.
- May “self‑execute” certain amendments (deemed adopted upon rule passage) and can set the text to be considered as “original bill” for amendment.
- Specifies what kind of rule applies to each bill (e.g., “closed” or “structured” rule), which determines:
Waiver of Rule XIII, Clause 6(a)
- Temporarily waives the usual two‑thirds vote requirement for same‑day consideration of certain Rules Committee resolutions (“same‑day rule” or “martial law” authority).
- This allows the House to quickly adopt additional special rules reported by the Rules Committee without waiting periods, facilitating rapid scheduling or changes.
Affected Entities / Stakeholders
- Directly affected: House floor procedures, the Committee on Rules, and members’ ability to offer amendments or raise procedural objections.
- Indirectly linked through the underlying bills: veterans, firearms manufacturers/owners, undersea cable operators and coastal regulators, and energy/critical minerals sectors.
The resolution’s latest action—motion to reconsider laid on the table, agreed to without objection—indicates the House finalized its adoption, putting these procedural terms into effect.
