This resolution would set the procedural rules for House floor debate on three Clean Air Act bills (H.R. 6387, H.R. 6398, and H.R. 6409) and a separate resolution on tax policy for working families (H. Res. 1156).

It would limit debate time and waive procedural objections, structuring how and when the House considers these measures rather than deciding their substance.

What this bill would do

What it would do

This resolution is a House "rule" that governs the procedure for floor consideration of four separate measures. It would make it in order to consider H.R. 6387, H.R. 6398, and H.R. 6409 — all bills amending the Clean Air Act — waiving all points of order against their consideration and against their provisions, deeming each bill as read, and allowing one hour of debate divided between the Energy and Commerce Committee's chair and ranking member, plus one motion to recommit, before final passage. Separately, it would make it in order to consider H. Res. 1156, a resolution expressing support for tax policies favoring working families, waiving points of order, deeming it read, and allotting one hour of debate controlled by the Ways and Means Committee's chair and ranking member. The resolution itself does not change any substantive policy in the underlying bills.

Who would be affected

Members of the House of Representatives, particularly the Committees on Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means, whose leaders control the allotted debate time. It also indirectly affects anyone following or advocating on the underlying Clean Air Act bills and the tax policy resolution.

Why it matters

By waiving points of order and limiting debate, this resolution determines the terms under which the House can act on the underlying bills, affecting how much scrutiny and amendment opportunity those measures receive before a floor vote, though it does not itself decide their fate.
