Plain-language change summary

The amendment to H. Res. 495 includes the addition of procedures related only to the consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 44) about firearms with stabilizing braces and the bill (H.R. 277) regarding major rules of the executive branch. It removes references to other bills such as H.R. 288, H.R. 1615, and H.R. 1640, thereby narrowing the focus of the resolution. This change means that the House will now only debate the specified joint resolution and the bill on major rules, streamlining the legislative discussion.
