Sets rules for House debate on Clean Air Act and tax bills.
Mr. Langworthy, Rules Committee
Reported by Committee, awaits House vote.
This resolution, known as a 'rule,' establishes the terms for how the House of Representatives will consider four other pieces of legislation: three bills modifying the Clean Air Act and one resolution supporting tax policies for working families. It sets limits on debate time and waives certain procedural objections. The sponsor, Mr. Langworthy, is from the House Rules Committee, which drafts these procedural resolutions. Currently, it has been approved by his committee and is ready for a vote by the full House.
Introduced Apr 15, 2026
This resolution was reported out of the House Rules Committee on April 15, 2026, and placed on the House Calendar. This means it has cleared committee and is now awaiting a vote by the full House of Representatives. For this resolution to be adopted, the House must vote in favor of it, which then clears the way for the House to consider the four underlying bills and resolutions it references.
If this resolution passes, the House will proceed to debate and vote on three bills related to the Clean Air Act and one resolution about tax policy. The debate on each of these measures will be restricted to one hour, equally divided between parties. This rule also waives most procedural challenges that could delay or block these bills, allowing for a more streamlined consideration, though a motion to send a bill back to committee will still be permitted.
Supporters Say
Supporters would argue this resolution ensures an organized and efficient process for considering important environmental and economic legislation.
Critics Say
Critics might contend that limiting debate and waiving procedural objections could restrict open discussion or amendment opportunities on the bills.
