Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 6945) to amend part A of title IV of the Social Security Act to clarify the authority of States to use funds for pregnancy centers, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 6359) to require institutions of higher education to disseminate information on the rights of, and accommodations and resources for, pregnant students, and for other purposes; and providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 140) providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to Public Land Order No. 7917 for Withdrawal of Federal Lands; Cook, Lake, and Saint Louis Counties, MN.

Summary

Allows the House to take up two separate measures quickly by waiving points of order, limiting debate, and setting final passage procedures. One measure concerns requiring colleges and universities to provide information about rights, accommodations, and resources for pregnant students; the other is a disapproval of a federal rule that withdrew certain federal lands in three Minnesota counties. Each measure would get one hour of debate (divided between the committee chair and ranking member or their designees) and one motion to recommit, with other procedural objections waived.

• Expedites House floor consideration of a measure on pregnant student rights and a joint resolution disapproving a federal land withdrawal rule in parts of Minnesota.
• Waives all points of order against consideration and against provisions in each measure as amended, limiting procedural objections.
• Sets one hour of debate for each measure, divided equally and controlled by the relevant committee chair and ranking member (or designees).
• Treats a committee amendment in the nature of a substitute as adopted for the higher-education measure and treats both measures as read for debate purposes.
• Allows one motion to recommit for each measure but bars other intervening motions before final passage.
• Does not itself change policy or provide funding; it only changes the House’s procedures for taking up and voting on the two measures.
• Combines expedited procedures for two unrelated topics (higher education/pregnancy accommodations and public land withdrawal), effectively creating a short procedural omnibus.
• By limiting debate and waiving points of order, the rule reduces the minority’s ability to offer amendments or raise procedural challenges.
