Legislative Activity

This resolution establishes the procedural framework for the House of Representatives to consider H.R. 77, which aims to streamline the process for disapproving "midnight rules" issued at the end of a presidential administration. It sets specific parameters for debate and limits further amendments to ensure an efficient legislative review.

The Protecting Life and Taxpayers Act of 2025 prohibits federal funding for any entity that performs abortions or provides financial support to organizations that do. Exceptions are granted for cases involving rape, incest, or medical emergencies where the mother's life is at risk.

The Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2025 imposes a one-year moratorium on federal funding for Planned Parenthood Federation of America, its affiliates, and its clinics unless they certify that they will not perform abortions. The bill redirects these funds to community health centers to ensure continued access to women’s health services. It includes specific exceptions for cases of rape, incest, or life-threatening medical conditions.

This bill permits the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader to jointly relocate House and Senate meetings outside of Washington, D.C., if deemed necessary for the public's interest, following consultations with the House and Senate Minority Leaders.

This bill sets the daily meeting time for the House of Representatives during the 119th Congress. The House will meet at 2 p.m. on Mondays, noon on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and 9 a.m. on all other days.
