AI Summary

This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering two important pieces of legislation in the House of Representatives. First, it allows for further debate and amendment of H.R. 8, a bill aimed at modernizing the nation's energy infrastructure, developing a skilled energy and manufacturing workforce, strengthening energy security and diplomacy, and promoting energy efficiency and government accountability. The resolution specifies that a particular substitute amendment, found in Rules Committee Print 11436, will be considered as the base text for further amendments, with strict limitations on which amendments can be offered and how they will be debated. Second, the resolution allows for the consideration of a conference report on S. 1177, a bill to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, which is designed to ensure every child achieves educational success. For both bills, the resolution waives certain procedural objections, known as "points of order," and sets specific conditions for debate and final votes.
