Bill Summary

Sets forth the rule for consideration of the bill (H.B. 1633) to establish a temporary prohibition against revising any national ambient air quality standard applicable to coarse particulate matter, to limit Federal regulation of nuisance dust in areas in which such dust is regulated under State, tribal, or local law.

AI Summary

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider a bill, H.R. 1633, which aims to temporarily prevent changes to national air quality standards for "coarse particulate matter" (a type of air pollution) and to limit the federal government's ability to regulate "nuisance dust" (dust that is considered a nuisance but not necessarily a health hazard) in areas where state, tribal, or local governments already have rules for it. The Resolution outlines that the Speaker can bring the bill up for debate, limits the time for general discussion to one hour, and specifies that amendments to the bill will be considered under a specific procedure called the "five-minute rule," with certain amendments already printed in a report being the only ones allowed. It also waives all procedural objections that could otherwise prevent the bill or its amendments from being considered, and sets the stage for a final vote after all amendments are dealt with.
