Bill Summary

Providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 20) providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Gas-fired Instantaneous Water Heaters"; providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 35) providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Waste Emissions Charge for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems: Procedures for Facilitating Compliance, Including Netting and Exemptions"; and providing for consideration of the concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 14) establishing the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.

AI Summary

This resolution provides a structured approach for considering three specific legislative measures in the House of Representatives. First, it allows for consideration of H.J. Res. 20, which seeks to disapprove a Department of Energy rule regarding energy conservation standards for consumer gas-fired instantaneous water heaters, with one hour of debate and a motion to recommit. Second, it enables consideration of H.J. Res. 35, which aims to disapprove an Environmental Protection Agency rule about waste emissions charges for petroleum and natural gas systems, also with one hour of debate and a motion to recommit. Third, the resolution sets up proceedings for H. Con. Res. 14, the congressional budget resolution for fiscal year 2025 and budgetary levels through 2034, with three hours of general debate divided between budget discussion and economic goals, and provisions for amendments. In each case, the resolution waives points of order against consideration and provides a streamlined process for discussion and potential passage, reflecting a procedural mechanism to expedite legislative review of specific regulatory actions and budget planning.
