H.Res. 1055 is a procedural resolution that clears the way for the House to vote on H.R. 7378, a bill that would amend the Calder Act to make permanent changes to how America observes time (likely referring to year-round daylight saving time or standard time). The resolution waives standard procedural objections and prevents lawmakers from proposing amendments to the bill, streamlining the path to a final vote. The House floor debate will be limited to one hour, split equally between supporters and opponents, plus one motion to recommit the bill. This type of resolution is a common tool used by House leadership to expedite consideration of legislation they want to move quickly through the chamber.
