SRES 379 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution amending the Standing Rules of the Senate to authorize the Majority Leader to move to proceed to the en bloc consideration of certain nominations.

SRES 379 amends Senate rules to allow the Majority Leader to move for the group consideration (en bloc) of up to 10 nominations from the same committee. It applies to most executive appointments (like agency officials or lower-level positions) but excludes Cabinet-level roles (level I Executive Schedule), federal judges, and Supreme Court justices. The bill changes the process so that these grouped nominations would be handled under the same procedural rules as a single nomination. This streamlines the confirmation process for routine appointments without altering the substance of nominations themselves.
