HR 5282 United States House · 118th Congress

Arms Sale Oversight Act

The Arms Sale Oversight Act (HR 5282) changes how the U.S. House of Representatives votes on arms sales by modifying procedural rules. It requires committees to report on such sales within 10 days or face a motion to discharge the committee (with debate limited to one hour). Once a committee acts, the House must vote with debate capped at 10 hours total, and amendments or reconsideration are prohibited. This bill directly affects the House's process for approving arms sales, setting specific time limits and procedural constraints.
