Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4626) to amend the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to prohibit the Secretary of Energy from prescribing any new or amended energy conservation standard for a product that is not technologically feasible and economically justified, and for other purposes, and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4758) to repeal provisions of Public Law 117-169 relating to taxpayer subsidies for home electrification, and for other purposes.
Summary
What This Bill Does
This House rule resolution provides the terms for considering two energy-related bills. It makes H.R. 4626 in order, waives points of order, treats Rules Committee Print 119-20 as the adopted substitute, considers the bill as read, waives points of order against provisions, limits debate to one hour controlled by Energy and Commerce leaders, and allows one motion to recommit. It also makes H.R. 4758 in order to repeal provisions of Public Law 117-169 relating to taxpayer subsidies for home electrification, waives points of order, considers the bill as read, limits debate to one hour, and allows one motion to recommit.
Who Benefits and How
House majority leadership benefits by placing both energy policy bills on the floor under predictable terms. Supporters of H.R. 4626 benefit because the rule advances a bill limiting new or amended energy conservation standards that are not technologically feasible and economically justified. Appliance manufacturers and other regulated product makers benefit procedurally from a path to stricter limits on future DOE standards. Supporters of H.R. 4758 benefit because the rule advances repeal of home electrification subsidies. Opponents of taxpayer subsidies for home electrification benefit from scheduled debate and a vote.
Who Bears the Burden and How
House Members seeking procedural objections or open amendments bear a burden because points of order are waived and the rule does not provide an open amendment process. House minority leadership must work within one hour of debate and one recommit motion for each bill. Supporters of stronger DOE appliance standards and supporters of home electrification subsidies face a procedural disadvantage because the rule protects the repeal or limitation bills from floor challenges. Energy and Commerce Committee floor staff must manage debate and final vote procedures for both measures.
