01 · The brief

H.

Res. 1115 is a House floor rule that makes in order and sets terms for consideration of three bills: H.R. 556 (prohibiting Interior and Agriculture from banning lead ammunition or tackle on certain federal lands/waters), H.R. 1958 (making aliens convicted of defrauding the U.S. government or unlawfully receiving public benefits inadmissible and deportable), and H.R. 4638 (making aliens convicted of harming animals used in law enforcement inadmissible and deportable).

The resolution waives points of order, deems committee amendments adopted, limits debate to one hour split between parties, allows one motion to recommit for each bill, and extends suspension-rule debate on a balanced-budget joint resolution to one hour.

Passage35/100

Procedural path in House is straightforward, but substantive bills face meaningful Senate and consensus barriers and potential implementation/legal challenges.

CredibilityAligned

Relative to its intended legislative type, this resolution is clear, specific, and well-constructed as an agenda-setting rule. It precisely defines the procedural terms for consideration of the identified bills, integrates with existing House procedures, and provides the customary limitations on debate and motions.
