Bill > HRes741

This Resolution sets the rules for further debate and consideration of a bill, H.B. 4078, also known as the "Regulatory Freeze for Jobs Act of 2012." The core provision of H.B. 4078 is to prevent government agencies from implementing any "significant regulatory action" – meaning major new rules or regulations – unless the national unemployment rate falls to 6.0 percent or below. This resolution also specifies a minor amendment to the bill, changing the word "employment" to "unemployment" in a particular section, which is considered adopted as part of the process. Essentially, this resolution is a procedural step to manage how the House of Representatives will discuss and potentially vote on this bill that aims to pause new regulations until the economy shows stronger signs of recovery, as indicated by a lower unemployment rate.
