Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
This resolution sets up the rules for House consideration of H.R. 77, a bill that would allow Congress to package together and vote on multiple "midnight rules" in a single disapproval resolution. Midnight rules are regulations that federal agencies typically rush to finalize during the transition period between presidential administrations. The resolution waives all procedural objections to considering the bill and limits debate to one hour, split equally between the majority and minority parties, with the Judiciary Committee controlling the debate time. If adopted, this procedural rule would streamline the process for the House to vote on H.R. 77, which aims to make it easier for Congress to overturn last-minute federal regulations enacted by outgoing administrations.
