More about this bill

Nothing here would change your daily life directly. This resolution is a scheduling order for House floor votes. The Rules Committee sent it to the floor on February 25, 2025. It sets the terms for debating three measures. Two of them would cancel federal rules. One targets energy-saving standards for gas tankless water heaters. The other targets how the EPA charges oil and gas companies for methane leaks. The third measure is the House budget plan for 2025, with targets running through 2034. The terms are tight. Members could not offer amendments on the floor to any of the three measures. Debate would be capped at one hour for each rule cancellation. The budget would get three hours. A change written by the Rules Committee would count as adopted, with no separate vote. Members also could not force a separate vote on parts of the budget. Whether those rules or the budget plan actually change depends on those later votes, not on this order.
