Motion to Discharge Committee filed by Mr. Moulton. Petition No: 118-20. (<a href="https://clerk.house.gov/DischargePetition/2024112020?Page=2&CongressNum=118">Discharge petition</a> text with signatures.)
H.Res. 1560 is a procedural resolution that sets the terms for House consideration of H.R. 8996, legislation designed to strengthen safety requirements for trains that carry hazardous materials. The resolution allows the House to proceed directly to debate and voting on the underlying bill without the typical procedural delays or amendments. It provides one hour of debate time split between the two parties, with the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee leadership controlling the discussion, plus one final opportunity for the minority party to propose changes before the vote. This type of resolution is a standard legislative tool that streamlines the House's consideration process to move bills forward efficiently.
