Exempts bills tied to the June 3, 2025 special message from section 1017 of the Impoundment Control Act and directs the House to adopt the text of a specified House resolution.
Exempts any bill or joint resolution introduced in connection with the special message transmitted under section 1012 of the Impoundment Control Act on June 3, 2025 from the requirements of section 1017 of the Impoundment Control Act. It also directs the House to adopt the text of a specified House resolution, which takes immediate effect for the House.
