Why This Matters

This resolution is a procedural House rule that schedules debate and votes on three separate measures: two that would cancel federal energy and environmental rules, and one federal budget plan. It does not pass or enact any of them by itself.

If you follow Congress, this clears the way for House votes on tankless water heater standards, a methane fee on oil and gas producers, and the 2025 budget plan.

  3. 3Sets up a House vote on a separate congressional budget plan for fiscal year 2025, with spending and revenue targets through 2034.
