House Rules Committee Clears Vote To End Clock Changes
H.Res. 1423, reported July 13, also fast-tracks veterans-benefits, State Department funding and gun-merchant-code bills, each allotted one hour of debate.
- H.R. 139, the daylight-saving bill, gets one hour of debate, split by party.
- Same rule sets floor debate for veterans bill H.R. 9237 and FY2027 State funding H.R. 8595.
- Also covers H.R. 1181, which bars card networks from flagging gun purchases by merchant code.
Why it matters: A single procedural rule capping four unrelated bills at an hour each rations debate, not schedules it.
