What it does
This resolution sets the rules for House debate and voting. Four bills will be voted on together. The bills cover daylight savings time, national security spending, and veterans benefits. The resolution limits changes members can make. It speeds up the voting process.
Who it affects
Citizens may be affected by daylight savings time changes and veterans benefits. Firearms retailers and payment card companies are affected by payment card rules. Members of Congress have fewer chances to object.
One thing to notice
A bill about payment card rules for gun stores was bundled with a large national security spending bill. Members voting on spending may also vote on the gun store rule without a separate choice.
