A procedural resolution — called a "rule" — that sets the terms for House floor debate on four separate bills. It clears H.R. 4690 (which would repeal federal building energy efficiency performance standards), H. Res. 1182 (which expresses support for rural communities as energy suppliers and food producers), H.R. 1897 (which amends the Endangered Species Act to streamline permitting and prioritize conservation resources), and H.R. 5587 (which would waive federal drilling permits and exempt certain geothermal energy activities from environmental review under NEPA). For each bill, the resolution waives all procedural objections (points of order), pre-adopts the committee's recommended substitute amendment, and limits floor debate to one hour with one motion to recommit. The resolution does not itself change any law — it only controls how and whether those four underlying bills can be debated and amended on the House floor.
