Bill > HRes680

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider two important bills. First, it allows for the consideration of H.R. 1435, a bill aimed at amending the Clean Air Act to prevent the banning of internal combustion engines, which are the engines found in most traditional gasoline and diesel vehicles. The resolution waives certain procedural objections, known as "points of order," that could otherwise prevent or delay a vote on this bill, and limits debate and amendments. Second, it provides for the consideration of H.R. 4365, a bill that makes appropriations, meaning it allocates money, for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024. Similar to the first bill, this resolution waives points of order, limits debate, and outlines a specific process for amendments, including allowing for amendments to be offered in groups ("en bloc") and for "pro forma" amendments, which are often used for procedural purposes during debate. The overall goal is to streamline the legislative process for these two bills.
