Overview

Bill: H.Res. 1336

Session: 119th Congress, 2nd Session

Title: Waiving a requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII with respect to consideration of certain resolutions reported from the Committee on Rules

Introduced by: Representative Virginia Foxx (sponsor); co-sponsor noted

Action: Reported by the House Rules Committee; placed on the House calendar (Calendar No. 78) on June 3, 2026

Purpose and Intent

The resolution waives, for a specific subset of resolutions, the requirement in clause 6(a) of rule XIII that generally mandates a two-thirds vote to bring certain Committee on Rules-reported resolutions to the floor on the same day they are presented to the House.

Specifically, the waiver applies to resolutions reported through the legislative day of June 5, 2026, relating to measures providing for reconciliation pursuant to title II of S. Con. Res. 33.

Key Provisions

Abrogates the standard rule in clause 6(a) of rule XIII for the specified time window and subject matter.

Scope: Applies only to resolutions reported from the Committee on Rules that are related to reconciliation measures under title II of S. Con. Res. 33.

Effect: Enables faster consideration by not requiring the usual two-thirds vote on the same day the resolution is presented to the House for these specific reconciliation-related resolutions.

Who/What Is Affected

The House of Representatives, specifically:

The Committee on Rules, which reports resolutions eligible for consideration under this waiver.
Members of the House who would consider the affected Rules Committee-reported resolutions.

It does not alter the general rule for all other resolutions or for other dates beyond June 5, 2026, nor does it modify reconciliation procedures themselves beyond procedural consideration timing.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

Applies to resolutions reported through the legislative day of June 5, 2026.

The waiver targets the procedural hurdle of requiring a two-thirds vote to bring these reports to the floor on the same day they are presented.

This is a one-time or limited-scope waiver tied to a specific legislative window, rather than a permanent change to Rule XIII.

Additional Context

The resolution is a housekeeping procedural measure intended to expedite consideration of certain reconciliation-related resolutions, aligning with current House practices for timely debate on budget and reconciliation measures.

The sponsor is Representative Virginia Foxx, with this measure reflecting a procedural simplification for a defined set of resolutions tied to reconciliation under the specified joint resolution.
