On Ordering the Previous Question
Bill Analysis
H.Res. 1075 is a House procedural resolution (a “rule”) that governs floor consideration of two specific energy-related bills: H.R. 4626 and H.R. 4758. It does not itself change substantive law or appropriate funds, but it structures how the House debates and votes on those bills.
Covered Bills and Purpose
- H.R. 4626: Amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to bar the Secretary of Energy from issuing new or amended federal energy conservation standards for covered products unless those standards are both technologically feasible and economically justified. The rule sets the terms under which the House can debate and amend this bill.
- H.R. 4758: Repeals certain provisions of Public Law 117‑169 (the Inflation Reduction Act) that provide federal subsidies (e.g., rebates, credits, or grants) for home electrification and related efficiency upgrades. The rule similarly governs its consideration.
Procedural Authorities and Structure
H.Res. 1075, as a special rule from the House Committee on Rules, typically:- Specifies the length and division of general debate time for each bill (often equally divided between majority and minority managers).
- Determines whether the bills are considered under a “closed,” “structured,” or “open” rule (i.e., whether and which amendments are in order).
- Provides for automatic adoption of certain technical or “self-executing” amendments, if any.
- Waives specified points of order under House rules or the Congressional Budget Act that might otherwise block consideration.
Affected Parties
While H.Res. 1075 itself affects only House floor procedure, the underlying bills it advances would impact:- Department of Energy (standard-setting authority).
- Manufacturers and appliance/equipment markets (subject to efficiency standards).
- Homeowners, renters, contractors, and state/local implementers of home electrification incentives (through potential repeal of subsidies).
Timelines
The resolution is effective only for the period of House consideration of H.R. 4626 and H.R. 4758. The noted latest action—“Motion to reconsider laid on the table agreed to without objection”—indicates the House finalized its action on the rule, making its adoption final and clearing the way for floor debate on the two bills.
