Bill > HRes742

This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering two important pieces of legislation in the House of Representatives. First, it allows for the consideration of a Senate amendment to H.R. 2576, a bill aimed at modernizing the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), which is a law that regulates chemicals in the United States. The House will consider a motion to accept the Senate's changes with a modification proposed by the Committee on Energy and Commerce. Second, it provides for the consideration of H.R. 897, a bill that clarifies how the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which governs pesticide registration and labeling, and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA), also known as the Clean Water Act, interact regarding the use of pesticides near navigable waters. For both bills, the Resolution waives certain procedural objections, known as "points of order," to ensure they can be debated and voted on, with specific time limits for debate and a limited opportunity to send the bills back for further changes.
