Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 5349) to develop and disseminate a civic education curriculum and oral history resources regarding certain political ideologies, and for other purposes, and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 7198) to amend title 5, United States Code, to require greater transparency for Federal regulatory decisions that impact small businesses, and for other purposes.
HRES 1602 is a procedural resolution that allows the U.S. House of Representatives to debate and vote on two specific bills. It enables consideration of H.R. 5349, which would direct the development of civic education materials about political ideologies, and H.R. 7198, which would require federal agencies to increase transparency in regulatory decisions affecting small businesses. The resolution waives objections to these bills and sets rules for debate, including time limits and amendment procedures. It does not change policy itself but facilitates the legislative process for these two bills. This resolution is a standard procedural step to advance the bills to the floor for voting.
