HRES 611 United States House · 118th Congress

Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 660) to amend chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, to require the safe storage of firearms, and for other purposes.

HRES 611 is a procedural resolution that establishes the rules for the House to consider H.R. 660, a bill requiring safe storage of firearms. It waives all points of order against H.R. 660 and its provisions, limits debate to one hour (equally divided), and allows one motion to recommit. This resolution does not change H.R. 660's content but streamlines its legislative process by removing procedural barriers. It directly affects how the House handles consideration of the firearm storage bill, which would apply to firearm owners and require secure storage practices.
