Bill Summary
Sets forth the rule for consideration of the bill (H.B. 2824) to amend the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 to stop the ongoing waste by the Department of the Interior of taxpayer resources and implement the final rule on excess spoil, mining waste, and buffers for perennial and intermittent streams, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.B. 2641) to provide for improved coordination of agency actions in the preparation and adoption of environmental documents for permitting determinations, and for other purposes; and providing for consideration of motions to suspend the rules.
AI Summary
This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering two bills in the House of Representatives: H.B. 2824, which aims to amend the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 to prevent wasteful spending by the Department of the Interior and implement a final rule concerning mining waste and stream buffers, and H.B. 2641, which seeks to improve how government agencies coordinate their actions when preparing environmental documents for permitting decisions. The resolution also allows for consideration of motions to suspend the rules, specifically mentioning a measure related to loan guarantees for Ukraine. For both H.B. 2824 and H.B. 2641, the resolution waives certain procedural objections, limits general debate to one hour, and outlines a specific process for considering amendments, including waiving points of order against those amendments.
