Returning Senate Joint Resolution 3 to the Senate.
Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
H.
Res. 212 states that Senate Joint Resolution 3 infringes the Origination Clause of Article I and the privileges of the House, and directs that the joint resolution (a CRA disapproval of an IRS digital-asset gross proceeds reporting rule) be returned to the Senate with a message.
Simple House resolution is non‑binding and does not create statutory change; unlikely to produce legal effect or become law.
