Introduced

In Committee

Passed One Chamber

House would set special rules for debating energy spending and land management bills.

This resolution would create specific rules for how the House of Representatives debates and votes on a bill that sets aside money for energy and water projects. It would also speed up the process for considering three resolutions that aim to block certain land management rules from the Bureau of Land Management.

What Would Change

Currently, bills in the House follow standard rules for debate and amendments, allowing for various procedural challenges and longer debate times. If this resolution passes, the House would use special, faster rules for a specific energy and water spending bill and three resolutions aimed at canceling certain land management rules. This would limit general debate on the spending bill to one hour and on each land management resolution to one hour, while also blocking many procedural challenges.
