Summary

Sets special House procedures to fast-track consideration of several measures: two joint resolutions to disapprove recent Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection rules (one on digital payment apps and one on overdraft lending), a bill that would limit district courts’ ability to grant injunctive relief, and a bill that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in Federal elections. It also tables two other House resolutions and blocks certain discharge motions. Debate time is limited for each measure and each consideration is subject to a single permitted motion to commit or recommit.

Key Points

• Authorizes expedited House consideration of two disapproval resolutions targeting CFPB rules with one-hour debate limits and one motion to commit each.
• Sets procedural terms for floor consideration of a bill that would limit district courts' power to issue injunctions, including adopting a committee substitute and limiting debate to one hour.
• Permits immediate House consideration of a bill requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote for Federal office, with limited debate and one motion to recommit.
• Tables two other House resolutions and blocks specified discharge motions related to measures substantially the same as one tabled resolution.
• Waives many points of order and procedural objections to speed floor action and restrict extended debate or amendments.
• Does not itself change policy on CFPB rules, injunctive relief, or voter registration; it only sets the terms for House consideration and votes.
• Consolidates control of floor debate time and limits minority dilatory motions by allowing only specified motions to commit/recommit.
• Makes these procedural limitations effective upon adoption, so House floor schedules and votes may proceed quickly once the resolution passes.
