House would set special rules for votes on energy and wildlife bills.
This resolution would create special rules for how the House of Representatives debates and votes on several important bills. It would speed up consideration of bills that would change federal building energy standards, update the Endangered Species Act, and alter geothermal drilling permits. These special rules would limit debate time and waive procedural challenges, making it faster to bring these bills to a final vote.
Today, bills in the House are subject to standard procedural challenges and longer debate times unless specific rules are adopted. After this resolution, the House would consider H.R. 4690, H.R. 1897, and H.R. 5587 under special rules. These rules would waive procedural challenges, limit debate to one hour per bill, and automatically adopt certain amendments, making it faster to bring these bills to a final vote.
