Congressional Budget Office

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. Bills include:

H.R. 1681 would require the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to establish an interagency strike force to help prioritize the review of communications use authorizations by the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service. Communications use authorizations are requests for the placement and operation of a communications facility on federal land. That group would establish goals for reviewing communications use authorizations and monitor each agency to ensure goals are met.
