HRES 46 United States House · 118th Congress

Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to prohibit the consideration of bills and resolutions whose titles do not adequately express their contents.

HRES 46 would amend House rules to require that all bills and resolutions have titles clearly and accurately reflecting their content. If a title fails to meet this standard, the bill or resolution cannot be considered on the House floor. A member could raise a point of order against such a bill, and if sustained, it would be returned to the committee that reported it or removed from the calendar. This rule would apply to all future legislation introduced in the House.
