HRES 211: Providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 25) providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Internal Revenue Service relating to ‘‘Gross Proceeds Reporting by Brokers That Regularly Provide Services Effectuating Digital Asset Sales’’; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1156) to amend the CARES Act to extend the statute of limitations for fraud under certain unemployment programs, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1968) making further continuing appropriations and other extensions for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, and for other purposes; and for other purposes.

HRES 211 is a procedural resolution that allows the U.S. House of Representatives to debate and vote on three specific legislative measures. It enables consideration of H.J. Res. 25 (which would disapprove an IRS rule requiring brokers to report digital asset sales), H.R. 1156 (which would extend fraud statute of limitations for unemployment programs), and H.R. 1968 (which would fund government operations through September 2025). The resolution waives standard procedural objections and sets time limits for debate on each measure. This resolution itself does not change policy but facilitates the House’s review of these three bills.
