H.R. 5515 Conference Report to Accompany of H.R. 5515, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 Yes One of the most important functions of the federal government is to provide for the common defense.

SUSPENSION BILLS

**A suspension bill is a bill passed by the House through suspending the rules to move quickly, circumventing the House Rules Committee. Suspension bills are typically less controversial pieces of legislation, and as the rules are being suspended, they require a higher threshold, two-thirds of those voting in the House, to pass. Additionally, these bills are often passed by a voice vote, without a formal roll call vote.
