Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 263) to amend the Lacey Act Amendments of 1981 to clarify provisions enacted by the Captive Wildlife Safety Act, to further the conservation of certain wildlife species, and for other purposes, and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4040) to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to extend telehealth flexibilities under the Medicare program, and for other purposes.

HRES 1256 is a procedural resolution that sets the rules for debating two separate bills on the House floor. It waives objections to considering H.R. 263 (which would amend wildlife conservation laws) and H.R. 4040 (which would extend Medicare telehealth flexibilities). The resolution specifies debate time limits, rules for amendments, and voting procedures for both bills. It does not change policy itself but governs how these bills will be processed. This resolution was adopted on July 26, 2022.
