YourVoice.Now Summary

This resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will debate three separate measures. It allows one hour of debate on a resolution to overturn a Department of Energy rule setting energy-efficiency standards for gas-powered tankless water heaters, and separately allows one hour of debate on a resolution to overturn an EPA rule governing a waste-emissions charge on oil and gas companies for excess methane leaks. It also sets up consideration of the federal budget resolution for fiscal year 2025, which lays out spending and revenue targets through 2034, with three hours of debate divided between budget policy and general economic discussion. The resolution waives procedural objections to each measure and limits debate to a single motion to recommit before a final vote.
