Bill > HRes429

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider two specific legislative items: H.R. 467, a bill to change how fentanyl-related substances are classified under the Controlled Substances Act, and S.J. Res. 11, a joint resolution that would block a rule from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concerning emissions standards for new heavy-duty vehicles. For H.R. 467, the resolution allows the Speaker to bring the bill to the floor for debate and amendment, waiving most procedural objections and limiting debate time, with a specific amendment from the Committee on Energy and Commerce considered adopted. For S.J. Res. 11, the resolution also allows for its consideration, waiving points of order and setting a limited debate time controlled by the Committee on Energy and Commerce. The phrase "points of order" refers to procedural objections that can be raised to prevent a bill or amendment from being considered or passed. "Chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code" refers to the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn regulations issued by federal agencies. The "five-minute rule" is a procedure for considering amendments where each amendment is debated for a limited time. The "previous question" is a motion that ends debate and forces an immediate vote on the matter at hand.
