Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 185) to advance responsible policies.
HRES 278 is a procedural resolution that establishes rules for the House to immediately consider H.R. 185, a bill aiming to temporarily prevent cuts to Medicaid and SNAP benefits. It waives objections to H.R. 185 and specifies that an amendment adding this prohibition (which would expire January 20, 2029) is to be treated as adopted. The resolution also sets a one-week timeline for the House to pass the bill and transmit it to the Senate. This resolution itself does not change policy but enables the consideration of H.R. 185 through specific procedural steps.
