House would set rules to consider bills on energy standards and foreign influence in colleges

This resolution would set the rules for how the House of Representatives considers three other important bills. These bills include proposals to cancel energy efficiency standards for certain refrigerators and freezers. It also includes a bill to make colleges more transparent about foreign money and stop deals with certain foreign countries.

What Would Change

Today, three specific bills (H.J. Res. 24, H.J. Res. 75, and H.R. 1048) would follow the House's standard rules for debate and amendments, and could face procedural delays. If this resolution is adopted, these three bills would be considered under special, faster rules. This means procedural objections would be waived, debate times would be limited, and fewer amendments would be allowed, streamlining their path to a vote in the House.
