Providing for consideration of the joint resolution (S.J. Res. 18) disapproving the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to "Overdraft Lending: Very Large Financial Institutions"; providing for consideration of the joint resolution (S.J. Res. 28) disapproving the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to "Defining Larger Participants of a Market for General-Use Digital Consumer Payment Applications"; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1526) to amend title 28, United States Code, to limit the authority of district courts to provide injunctive relief, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 22) to amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require proof of United States citizenship to register an individual to vote in elections for Federal office, and for other purposes; and for other purposes.
Summary
This resolution serves as a procedural roadmap for the House of Representatives. It proposes the rules for debating and voting on four separate measures, including two joint resolutions that aim to overturn specific regulations issued by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. One of these regulations involves overdraft lending at large banks, while the other concerns the oversight of digital payment applications. Because this is a House Resolution, it is a non-binding procedural tool that does not have the force of law and does not require the President's signature. If adopted, this resolution would allow the House to move forward with formal consideration of the listed bills. Among the items scheduled for debate are H.R. 22, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections, and H.R. 1526, which seeks to limit the power of district courts to issue certain types of legal injunctions. The practical impact on citizens is indirect, as this bill itself only sets the stage for future votes on those more substantive policy changes.

On Ordering the Previous Question
The House voted 213-211 to adopt H.Res. 294, a special rule that sets the terms for considering four separate measures on the floor. The rule provides for debate on two Senate-passed joint resolutions (S.J. Res. 18 and S.J. Res. 28) that would disapprove rules issued by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection regarding overdraft lending and digital payment applications. The rule also governs floor consideration of H.R. 1526, which would limit federal district courts' authority to issue injunctive relief, and H.R. 22, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration in federal elections. This procedural vote determined whether the House would debate these four bills under the terms proposed by the Rules Committee. Adopting the rule does not constitute a vote on any of the underlying measures themselves. Instead, it establishes the framework—including debate time and amendment procedures—under which the House will consider each bill. Rejecting the rule would have prevented floor consideration of these measures under the proposed terms. The vote was strictly partisan, with all 213 Republicans voting yes and all 211 Democrats voting no. This reflects typical party-line divisions on procedural rules. With the rule adopted, the House will now proceed to debate and vote on the four underlying measures according to the terms set by H.Res. 294.
The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 22, H.R. 1526, S.J. Res. 18, and S.J. Res. 28 under a closed rule. The resolution provides for one hour of debate on each measure and one motion to recommit on H.R. 22 and H.R. 1526, and one motion to commit on S.J. Res. 18 and S.J. Res. 28.
