The resolution amends House rules to prevent recessing in August unless all regular appropriation bills are approved by July 31.

  • Rule XXI of the Rules of the House of Representatives

    ``Concurrent resolution providing for adjournment during August ``13. If by July 31 of any calendar year the House has not passed each of the regular appropriation bills for the fiscal year which begins on October 1 of that calendar year, it shall not be in order to consider a concurrent resolution to provide that the House stand adjourned during any day occurring during August of that calendar year until the House has passed each such bill. For purposes of this clause, term `regular appropriation bill' means any annual appropriation bill which is under the jurisdiction of a single subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives (as may be provided under the Rules for the fiscal year involved).''

    This change establishes a new rule that prohibits the House from recessing in August if it has not passed all necessary appropriation bills by July 31.
