Bill > HRes1370

This Resolution sets the rules for the House of Representatives to consider two important appropriations bills for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025: H.R. 8997, which covers energy and water development, and H.R. 8998, which covers the Department of the Interior, environment, and related agencies. Essentially, it outlines a structured process for debating and amending these bills, ensuring that the Speaker can bring them to the floor for consideration, waiving most objections to their consideration, limiting general debate to one hour, and establishing specific procedures for offering further amendments, including "en bloc" amendments (groups of amendments considered together) and "pro forma" amendments (amendments offered for the purpose of debate). The resolution also dictates that after amendments are considered, the bills will be put to a final vote, with only one opportunity for a motion to recommit before the final vote.
