House Rules, immediate consideration and questions during debate

Introduced·1/22/26

Amends House rules for immediate consideration of resolutions and time limits for debate.

This bill amends the House rules to allow immediate consideration of House or Concurrent Resolutions unless five members object. It also modifies the time limits for debate on bills and resolutions, allowing members to speak twice on the main question, with a maximum of sixty minutes for the first speech and thirty minutes for the second. If a member accepts questions during their speech, they cannot refuse questions later, and refusal will result in the termination of their allotted time.
