Suspension Bill
The Majority Leader of the House of Representatives announces bills that will be considered under suspension of the rules in that chamber. CBO estimates the effects of those bills on direct spending and revenues.
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 June 12, 2023, include:
H.R. 662, Block Grant Assistance Act of 2023, as amended
H.R. 3099, Special Envoy for the Abraham Accords Act, as amended
H.Res. 272, Calling on the Government of the Russian Federation to immediately release U.S. citizen Paul Whelan
H.Res. 377, Calling for the immediate release of Evan Gershkovich, a U.S. citizen and journalist wrongfully detained by Russia, as amended
