Bill Analysis
H.Res. 1115 is a House procedural resolution (a “rule”) that governs floor consideration of three specific bills and temporarily alters how the House may consider other legislation.
Covered Bills and Debate Structure
- H.R. 556 – Prohibits the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture from banning lead ammunition or fishing tackle on specified federal lands and waters under their jurisdiction.
- H.R. 1958 – Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to make noncitizens convicted of defrauding the U.S. government or unlawfully receiving public benefits both inadmissible (barred from entry) and deportable.
- H.R. 4638 – Amends the INA to make noncitizens convicted of harming animals used in law enforcement (e.g., police dogs, horses) inadmissible and deportable.
H.Res. 1115 typically:
- Specifies how much floor debate time each bill receives and how it is divided between majority and minority.
- Identifies which committee reports are considered as read.
- Determines whether the bills are considered under a “closed,” “structured,” or “open” rule (i.e., whether and which amendments are in order).
- Sets procedures for final passage votes and possible motions to recommit.
Motions to Suspend the Rules
- The resolution also includes provisions “relating to consideration of motions to suspend the rules,” which can:
- Temporarily expand or limit when suspension motions may be offered.
- Adjust which measures can be considered under suspension (a fast-track procedure requiring a two-thirds vote and barring floor amendments).
- The resolution also includes provisions “relating to consideration of motions to suspend the rules,” which can:
Funding and Substantive Policy
- As a House rule, H.Res. 1115 itself does not authorize or appropriate funds, create new programs, or directly regulate individuals or entities.
- It instead structures how and when the House may act on the underlying substantive bills, which affect:
- Federal land and wildlife management (H.R. 556).
- Noncitizens’ immigration status related to fraud and public benefits (H.R. 1958).
- Noncitizens’ immigration status related to harming law-enforcement animals (H.R. 4638).
Status
- The House agreed to the resolution; the motion to reconsider was laid on the table, finalizing its adoption for the specified legislative period.
