This resolution amends Rule XXVIII (Conference Committees; Reports; Open Meetings) of the Standing Rules of the Senate to limit to two hours consideration of any motion (not only a related cloture motion) to
disagree to a House amendment or insist upon a Senate amendment, request a committee of conference with the House or to agree to a request by the House for a committee of conference, and authorize the Presiding Officer to appoint conferees (or a motion to appoint conferees). Such limitation also applies to consideration of any related debatable motions or appeals.
