HRES 916
Passed House Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

Summary

This resolution is a procedural measure that establishes the rules for House floor consideration of six bills. The resolution allows for debate and votes on bills concerning: protections for student athletes' name, image, and likeness rights; restrictions on schools accepting funds or contracts from China; parental notification of foreign influence in schools; prohibitions on federal education funding for schools receiving Chinese support; regulatory budget requirements for small businesses; and the establishment of a Small Business Administration hotline for reporting burdensome regulations. For each bill, the resolution sets debate time at one hour, waives procedural objections, and allows one motion to recommit. The resolution does not enact policy itself but rather sets the procedural framework for the House to consider and vote on these separate bills.
