En Bloc

En bloc means together as a group. In legislative procedure, members may consider or vote on multiple amendments or items together rather than separately, when the chamber’s rules permit that approach.

Example: A chamber may agree to consider a group of noncontroversial amendments en bloc during consideration of a larger bill, subject to the rules governing that measure.

Common misconception: En bloc means each item has been separately debated and voted on. The procedure treats the items as a group, and the result applies according to the terms of the motion or agreement.
