Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 6703) to ensure access to affordable health insurance; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 498) to amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to prohibit Federal Medicaid funding for gender transition procedures for minors; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3492) to amend section 116 of title 18, United States Code, with respect to genital and bodily mutilation and chemical castration of minors; and relating to consideration of the bill (H.R. 4776) to amend the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 to clarify ambiguous provisions and facilitate a more efficient, effective, and timely environmental review process.

H. Res. 953 is a procedural resolution that establishes the terms for House floor consideration of four separate bills. The resolution addresses the consideration process for H.R. 6703 regarding affordable health insurance access, H.R. 498 which would restrict Federal Medicaid funding for gender transition procedures for minors, H.R. 3492 which addresses genital and bodily mutilation and chemical castration of minors under federal law, and H.R. 4776 which would modify the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 to streamline the environmental review process.

The resolution sets the framework under which each of these four bills would be debated and voted on in the House of Representatives. By adopting this resolution, the House establishes the procedural rules—such as debate time limits and amendment procedures—that will govern consideration of these bills on the floor. The resolution does not itself enact policy changes but rather determines how the legislative process will proceed for each of the four bills it references.
