Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
This resolution sets the House rules for debating and voting on three joint resolutions that would use the Congressional Review Act to overturn agency rules. It waives points of order, deems each joint resolution as read, limits debate to one hour split between the committee chair and the ranking minority member, and allows one motion to recommit. The resolution itself does not disapprove any rule — it only governs how the House will consider the three CRA disapproval measures.
All points of order against consideration and against provisions are waived, the previous question is ordered for final passage, debate is limited to one hour equally divided and controlled by the committee chair and ranking member (or their designees), and one motion to recommit is allowed for each joint resolution.
This House resolution (H.
Res. 177) sets terms for floor consideration of three Congressional Review Act joint resolutions disapproving rules from DOE (appliance standards certification/labeling/enforcement), EPA (hazardous air pollutants rule for rubber tire manufacturing), and BOEM (protection of marine archaeological resources).
For each joint resolution the resolution waives points of order, considers the text as read, limits debate to one hour equally divided, allows one motion to recommit, and establishes expedited floor procedures.
Narrow procedural measure likely to pass its originating chamber, but the underlying CRA disapprovals face significant obstacles to becoming law.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this resolution is a concise and standard procedural rule that clearly and specifically sets the terms for House consideration of three Congressional Review Act joint resolutions. It provides the essential mechanisms and responsible parties necessary to execute floor consideration.
