* Clarifying that a member will be referred to the Ethics Committee for disorderly conduct on the House floor during legislative proceedings, such as blocking access to microphones or the dais.

* Making it easier to sell or give away federal land by tweaking budget language to say that any such land conveyances don’t have significant costs to the federal government.

* Making more House documents electronically accessible.

*  Making it easier legislatively to reduce spending some in appropriations bills.

* Continuing a prohibition on lobbyists in private House gyms, even if they are former members.
