Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 999) to protect an individual's ability to access contraceptives and to engage in contraception and to protect a health care providers ability to provide contraceptives, contraception, and information related to contraception.

Summary

H.Res. 830 is a House resolution that sets up floor consideration of H.R. 999, the underlying bill focused on protecting access to contraceptives. The resolution does not itself create substantive policy on contraception; instead, it provides the procedural rules for the House to debate and vote on H.R. 999. It waives points of order, deems the bill read, limits debate to one hour divided between the majority and minority on the Energy and Commerce Committee, and allows one motion to recommit. The resolution also directs the Clerk to transmit a message to the Senate within one week after passage of H.R. 999. In practical terms, HR830 is a rule-making measure that determines how the House will handle the contraception-access bill, including expedited consideration and restrictions on procedural delays.

Impact

HR830 would affect House procedure rather than state law directly. Its legal effect is to govern consideration of H.R. 999 by waiving certain parliamentary objections and structuring debate, amendment, and final passage in the House. Any substantive impact on state laws, health care providers, or contraceptive access would come from H.R. 999 itself, not from this resolution.

Sentiment

The available context suggests the measure is part of an effort to advance legislation protecting contraceptive access, which indicates support among its sponsors and likely supporters for moving the underlying bill quickly. No committee transcript or vote record is provided here, so there is no recorded floor debate or roll-call sentiment in the supplied materials. The presence of a discharge petition in the bill history suggests the issue may have been contentious enough to require procedural maneuvering to bring it to the floor.

Contention

The main point of contention is procedural: whether and how quickly the House should consider H.R. 999, and whether to waive normal points of order and limit amendments. Supporters of the rule likely favor expedited consideration of contraceptive-access protections, while opponents may object to the closed or structured process and to the substance of the underlying contraception bill. Because HR830 is a rule resolution, the dispute centers on floor procedure as much as on the policy question of contraceptive access.
