Congressional Activities

01 · The brief

This House resolution sets terms for floor consideration of five Congressional Review Act joint resolutions that would disapprove recent agency rules from the National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and EPA (relating to Glen Canyon vehicle rules, listing longfin smelt, and several California motor vehicle/engine standards and waivers).

It waives points of order, deems each resolution as read, limits debate to one hour with one motion to recommit, assigns debate control to relevant committee chairs and ranking members, and specifies certain calendar-day counting rules through September 30, 2025.

Passage30/100

The resolution makes House consideration likely, but successful final disapproval requires Senate passage and executive acceptance, which are uncertain for contentious regulatory rollbacks.

CredibilityAligned

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a clearly constructed procedural/agenda-setting House resolution that specifies the principal mechanics for floor consideration of named congressional review act resolutions.
