Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4121) to protect an individual's ability to access contraceptives and to engage in contraception and to protect a health care provider's ability to provide contraceptives, contraception, and information related to contraception.
HRES 1240 is a procedural resolution that sets the rules for the House to consider H.R. 4121. It waives objections to the bill, limits debate to one hour (equally divided between majority and minority leaders), and permits only one motion to recommit. This resolution directly enables the House to move H.R. 4121 to a vote without procedural delays. The substantive bill (H.R. 4121) aims to protect access to contraceptives and related information for individuals and healthcare providers, but HRES 1240 itself only governs the legislative process.
