This House resolution sets the procedural rules for the House to consider H.R. 4378, the continuing appropriations bill for fiscal year 2020. It waives any points of order that might block the bill’s consideration, treats the bill as already read, and limits debate to a single hour split evenly between the chair and the ranking minority member of the Appropriations Committee. The resolution also allows one motion to recommit before the final vote.
