ANNOUNCEMENT
H.R. 3334 – Sanctioning Tyrannical and Oppressive People within the Chinese Communist Party Act
Dear Colleague:
The Committee on Rules may meet the week of September 23rd to provide for floor consideration of H.R. 3334.
If a Member wishes to offer an amendment for consideration, they must submit a searchable electronic copy of the amendment, which should be provided by the Office of Legislative Counsel, via the Rules Committee’s website by 12:00 PM on Thursday, September 19, 2024. Please note that staff must be on the House network, either physically or remotely via virtual private network (VPN), in order to access the online submission form.
Members should draft their amendments to the text of H.R. 3334, which is available on the Rules Committee website. Members are strongly advised to submit amendments by the deadline.
Members may not digitally edit HOLC PDFs prior to submission. If a Member must edit an HOLC draft prior to submission, please do so by printing, hand correcting, and scanning so it is clear there is a non-HOLC change. Members are still urged to re-submit any such hand revision upon receipt of an updated formal draft from HOLC.
Members should use the Office of Legislative Counsel to ensure that their amendments are drafted in the most appropriate format. Additionally, Members should consult with the Office of the Parliamentarian and the Committee on the Budget to be certain their amendments comply with the rules of the House and the Congressional Budget Act. If you have any questions, please contact Ashlee Bierworth of the Committee staff at Ashlee.Bierworth@mail.house.gov or at 202-225-9191.
Sincerely,
Michael Burgess
Chairman
House Committee on Rules
