House Resolution 519 is a procedural measure that clears the way for the House to consider two pending bills. It waives all points of order and sets limited debate time for H.R. 3877, which would amend the 1985 Balanced Budget Act, set a budget for FY 2020‑2021, and temporarily suspend the debt ceiling. It also waives procedural hurdles for H.R. 549, which would designate Venezuela for temporary protected status under the Immigration and Nationality Act. Finally, the resolution removes a two‑thirds vote requirement for a Rules Committee report on July 26, 2019.

Key Provisions

All points of order are waived for consideration of H.R. 3877, allowing it to be read and debated with a one‑hour limit split evenly between the Budget Committee chair and ranking minority member, and permitting only one motion to recommit.
