Transparency & Accountability

A House scheduling step — it sets up two votes to undo a bank rule and a clean air rule.

Transparency & Accountability

Advance notice before budget-bill floor votes — through May 23, 2025

The House normally needs a two-thirds vote to act on new floor rules the same day they are written. This resolution lowered that to a simple majority for budget bill rules, through May 23, 2025.

More about this bill

Most people would notice no change in daily life from this measure. It is a House floor-procedure resolution. It sets the ground rules for debating two other measures. On its own, it changes no law. Each of those two measures would cancel a federal rule. One targets a Treasury rule on reviewing bank merger applications. The other targets an EPA rule on how the Clean Air Act treats large pollution sources. Each got one hour of debate, split evenly between the parties. No amendments were allowed. The resolution also let the House vote on debate rules for a budget bill the same day they were written. That shortcut ran through May 23, 2025. Such votes normally need a two-thirds majority.
