Bill > HRes140

This Resolution establishes the rules for considering H.R. 678, a bill that would allow the Bureau of Reclamation, a government agency responsible for water and power infrastructure in the western United States, to use all of its conduit facilities, which are essentially pipes or channels that carry water, for developing hydropower, or electricity generated from water. The resolution, known as a "rule" in the House of Representatives, sets a specific timeline and procedure for debating and amending the bill, including limiting general debate to one hour and waiving most objections that could prevent the bill from being considered or amended. It also specifies that only amendments printed in the Congressional Record at least one day before consideration and pro forma amendments for debate are allowed, and it sets the stage for a final vote on the bill after amendments are considered.
