House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar

Summary

HR965 is a House resolution that sets a special order calendar for the 30th legislative day, giving top priority to a list of Senate bills and related items for consideration.

What This Bill Does

It designates the listed Senate bills and related items as the special and paramount order of business for the 30th day, ahead of regular and unfinished business. These items include appropriations, funding changes, and policy updates such as funding for the Coalition Against Domestic Violence, renovations at Garrett Coliseum, and revisions to health insurance programs. The resolution does not pass the bills itself but arranges for their prioritized consideration on that day. It controls the order of business for the day, ensuring these items are discussed before other business.
