H.Res. 748 is a procedural resolution that sets the rules for bringing H.R. 729, a bill to allow grant funding for tribal coastal projects, to the House floor. It tells the Speaker how to start debate, waives certain procedural hurdles, and outlines how amendments can be offered and voted on.

Key Provisions

The resolution lets the Speaker move the House into a Committee of the Whole to consider H.R. 729, which would amend the Coastal Zone Management Act to allow grant funding for Indian Tribes.
It waives the first reading and any points of order against the bill, and limits general debate to one hour, split evenly between the majority and minority chairs of the Natural Resources Committee.
After debate, the bill can be amended under the five‑minute rule, and a substitute amendment containing the text of Rules Committee Print 116‑40 is automatically adopted.
Further amendments are restricted to those listed in the Rules Committee report, with strict limits on how they can be offered, debated, and amended.
The chair of the Natural Resources Committee (or designee) may offer block amendments, which are also read and debated under set time limits.
At the end of amendment consideration, the Committee reports the bill back to the House for final passage, with only a motion to recommit allowed before the final vote.
