On Agreeing to the Resolution
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 debate and amendment opportunities for those bills.
Covered Bills and Subject Matter
- H.R. 4626: Would amend the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) to bar the Secretary of Energy from issuing new or revised federal energy conservation standards for covered products unless those standards are both:
- Technologically feasible; and
- Economically justified.
This targets the Department of Energy’s appliance and equipment efficiency rulemaking authority.
- H.R. 4758: Would repeal certain provisions of Public Law 117‑169 (the Inflation Reduction Act) that provide federal subsidies (e.g., rebates, incentives) for home electrification and related efficiency upgrades.
- H.R. 4626: Would amend the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) to bar the Secretary of Energy from issuing new or revised federal energy conservation standards for covered products unless those standards are both:
Procedural Authorities and Structure
- The resolution is reported by the House Committee on Rules and:
- Specifies how much floor debate time is allowed for each bill (typically one hour, 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).
- May provide for consideration of a single amendment in the nature of a substitute, waive certain points of order under House rules or the Congressional Budget Act, and set the terms for motions to recommit.
- It may also allow the Speaker to entertain certain procedural motions and to bundle or sequence consideration of the two bills.
- The resolution is reported by the House Committee on Rules and:
Affected Parties
- Agencies: Primarily the Department of Energy (for H.R. 4626) and agencies administering Inflation Reduction Act home-electrification programs (for H.R. 4758).
- Regulated/Benefited: Appliance and equipment manufacturers, energy-efficiency stakeholders, utilities, and households eligible for electrification subsidies.
Timelines
- H.Res. 1075 applies to the specific floor consideration period designated by the House; its effect is procedural and time-limited to that consideration.
- The noted latest action (“motion to reconsider laid on the table, agreed to without objection”) indicates the House finalized its disposition of the rule, making that action effectively final.
