Description:
The Majority Leader of the House of Representatives announces bills that will be considered under suspension of the rules in that chamber. Under suspension, floor debate is limited, all floor amendments are prohibited, points of order against the bill are waived, and final passage requires a two-thirds majority vote. At the request of the Majority Leader and the House Committee on the Budget, CBO estimates the effects of those bills on direct spending and revenues. CBO has limited time to review the legislation before consideration. Although it is possible in most cases to determine whether the legislation would affect direct spending or revenues, time may be insufficient to estimate the magnitude of those effects. If CBO has prepared estimates for similar or identical legislation, a more detailed assessment of budgetary effects, including effects on spending subject to appropriation, may be included. CBO’s estimates of the bills that have been posted for possible consideration under suspension of the rules during the week of May 6, 2024, include: H.R. 272, ASTRO Act H.R. 3354, To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 220 North Hatcher Avenue in Purcellville, Virginia, as the "Secretary of State Madeleine Albright Post Office Building" H.R. 4143, National Construction Safety Team Enhancement Act of 2023, as amended H.R. 5887, Government Service Delivery Improvement Act, as amended H.R. 6972, Securing the Chain of Command Continuity Act, as amended H.R. 7219, Information Quality Assurance Act, as amended H.R. 7423, To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 103 Benedette Street in Rayville, Louisiana, as the "Luke Letlow Post Office Building" H.R. 7524, GSA Technology Accountability Act, as amended H.R. 7525, Special District Grant Accessibility Act H.R. 7527, Mail Traffic Deaths Reporting Act, as amended H.R. 7528, Comment Integrity and Management Act of 2024, as amended S. 870, Fire Grants and Safety Act of 2023 S. 2073, Eliminate Useless Reports Act, as amended
