Placed on the House Calendar, Calendar No. 78.
This resolution waives a House rule that normally requires a two-thirds vote to consider a Rules Committee report on the same day it is presented. It applies only to rules reports filed through the legislative day of June 5, 2026, and only for reports relating to a reconciliation measure under title II of S. Con. Res. 33. By waiving that timing requirement, the House may take up those Rules Committee reports the same day they are presented without the usual two-thirds vote. The change affects House procedure only and does not create binding law beyond House floor process.
As a House simple resolution, it governs only House procedure and is not law. It specifically waives clause 6(a) of House rule XIII so Rules Committee reports tied to the specified reconciliation measure can be considered the same day through June 5, 2026, without a two-thirds vote.

Cautiously accepting if strictly time-limited and narrowly tailored, since it is procedural and temporary.
Worries about precedent and wants assurances of adequate information and recorded votes before passage.
Likely opposed because it removes a rule protection designed to prevent same-day surprise consideration.
Views the waiver as facilitating partisan reconciliation efforts and weakening deliberative norms.
