AI-Generated Summary

Updated February 8, 2026 at 6:58 PM UTC

This resolution lets the House move forward with two separate bills—H.R. 9640, which would let the Treasury examine and disclose a President’s tax returns, and S. 1942, which would create a uniform way to designate National Heritage Areas. It waives normal procedural objections, sets a limited one‑hour debate for each bill, and allows a motion to recommit. The resolution also adopts two other House resolutions and makes a few housekeeping changes for the session’s record‑keeping.

Key Provisions

  • Waives all points of order and permits H.R. 9640 to be considered as read, with one hour of debate split between the Ways and Means committee chair and ranking member, plus a motion to recommit.

  • Adopts House Resolutions 693 and 1434.
  • Allows the Speaker to entertain motions to suspend the rules for multiple measures and withdraw postponed motions without debate.
  • Approves the Journal of the previous day’s proceedings and lets the Speaker appoint members to act as chair for the period covered, while stating that days in that period don’t count for certain calendar or legislative deadlines.
