House would quickly vote on Russia sanctions bill under new rules.

This resolution would set special rules for the House of Representatives to quickly consider a bill (H.R. 6856) that would impose sanctions on Russia. It would limit debate, automatically adopt an amendment, and prevent procedural challenges, speeding up the process for lawmakers.

What Would Change

Today, a bill like H.R. 6856 would typically go through a longer process in the House, allowing for more debate, potential committee review, and various procedural challenges. If this resolution passes, H.R. 6856 would move directly to a quick floor vote with limited debate and an automatically adopted amendment, bypassing many standard steps. These changes would take effect immediately upon the resolution's adoption.
