Providing for the consideration of the resolution (H. Res. 967) amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to permit Members to vote by proxy in certain cases, and for other purposes.
H. Res. 1115 is a procedural resolution that sets the rules for debating and voting on H. Res. 967, which would change House rules to allow members to vote by proxy in certain situations. The resolution fast-tracks consideration of the proxy voting proposal by waiving standard procedural objections and limiting debate to just one hour, split equally between majority and minority parties. No amendments to the underlying proxy voting proposal are allowed under this process, though lawmakers can offer one motion to recommit the measure. This type of resolution is a common congressional tool used to manage floor debate on proposed rule changes, ensuring efficient consideration while maintaining some opportunity for opposing viewpoints to be heard.
