Waiving a requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII with respect to consideration of certain resolutions reported from the Committee on Rules.
Summary
H. Res. 1336 is a procedural House resolution that temporarily waives a House rule requiring a two-thirds vote to consider, on the same day it is presented, any report from the Committee on Rules. The waiver applies to resolutions reported through the legislative day of June 5, 2026, and only for resolutions relating to a measure providing for reconciliation under title II of S. Con. Res. 33.
In practical terms, the resolution is designed to speed up House floor consideration of Rules Committee reports connected to a reconciliation package. It does not itself change substantive policy, create new programs, or amend federal benefit or tax laws; instead, it adjusts the parliamentary process so the House can act more quickly on related procedural resolutions during the specified period.
Impact
The bill affects House procedure rather than state law or substantive federal statutes. It temporarily suspends a supermajority requirement in House Rule XIII for same-day consideration of certain Rules Committee reports, making it easier for the House to process procedural resolutions tied to reconciliation legislation. The direct impact is on House leadership, the Rules Committee, and members managing floor action on the reconciliation measure, not on state governments or regulated private parties.
Sentiment
The available record suggests little overt controversy in the formal action on this resolution, as the motion to reconsider was laid on the table and agreed to without objection. That indicates broad procedural acceptance or at least no recorded opposition at the time of passage. Because there were no committee transcripts or recorded votes provided, the overall sentiment can only be described as neutral to mildly supportive of expediting House consideration.
Contention
Any contention would likely center on the use of procedural waivers to accelerate consideration of reconciliation-related measures, which can be viewed by some members as limiting deliberation or bypassing normal safeguards. Supporters would favor the waiver as a practical step to keep the legislative process moving, while critics might object to reducing the threshold for same-day consideration of Rules Committee reports. No specific member objections or recorded vote divisions are available in the provided materials.
