What this bill does
H.Res. 510 is a procedural resolution, known as a "rule," that set the terms for House floor debate on H.R. 4328, the fiscal year 1999 appropriations bill for the Department of Transportation and related agencies. Rather than addressing transportation policy itself, it established how the House would consider that funding bill.
Specifically, the resolution allowed the Speaker to move the House into the Committee of the Whole to take up H.R. 4328, limited general debate to one hour divided evenly between the majority and minority leaders of the Appropriations Committee, and set the bill up for amendment under the five-minute rule. It deemed certain amendments listed in the Rules Committee report as already adopted, waived specific procedural objections (points of order) against parts of the bill and against those pre-approved amendments, and gave the Committee chairman authority to manage voting procedures, including postponing votes and shortening some voting times. It also guaranteed that after amendments were considered, the bill would proceed to final passage with only a motion to recommit allowed.
This resolution primarily affects members of Congress and the internal procedures of the House rather than the public directly; it governed how lawmakers debated and amended the transportation funding bill. As a simple resolution, it did not require Senate action or presidential signature. It was agreed to by voice vote on July 29, 1998, completing its legislative purpose, after which the House proceeded to debate H.R. 4328 under these terms.
