Bill > HRes631

This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering two bills in the House of Representatives: H.R. 3017, which aims to reauthorize and improve the brownfields program under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) – a law designed to clean up hazardous waste sites – and H.R. 3905, which would require congressional approval for any mineral withdrawal or monument designation on National Forest System lands in Minnesota and allow for the renewal of certain mineral leases on those lands. For both bills, the Resolution waives all points of order against their consideration and against specific provisions within them once amended, and it deems a specific text as an amendment in the nature of a substitute, meaning the bills will be considered as if these amendments were already adopted. The Resolution also orders the previous question on each bill to final passage, limiting further debate and amendments to specific conditions, including one hour of debate for each bill controlled by the respective committee chairs and ranking members, and one motion to recommit with or without instructions. For H.R. 3905, an additional amendment is allowed under specific debate conditions.
