HRES-951 : Still Just a Bill

This House Resolution (H. Res. 951) outlines the procedures for the U.S. House of Representatives to consider six distinct pieces of legislation. Essentially, it sets the rules for debate and amendments for each bill on the House floor. The bills being brought up for consideration are:

  • H.R. 4776: A bill to amend the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 to streamline and clarify environmental review processes.
  • H.R. 1366: A bill related to hardrock mining, specifically concerning the location of multiple mill sites and the establishment of an Abandoned Hardrock Mine Fund.
  • H.R. 845: A bill directing the Secretary of the Interior to re-issue regulations that would remove the gray wolf from the list of endangered and threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.
  • H.R. 3616: A bill requiring the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to review regulations that could impact the reliability of the nation's bulk-power system.
  • H.R. 3632: A bill to amend the Federal Power Act, adjusting requirements for providing adequate electric service and mandating notice for planned retirements of certain electric generating units.
  • H.R. 4371: A bill to amend the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 to bolster efforts against child trafficking.
For most of these bills, the resolution waives points of order against their consideration, adopts an amendment in the nature of a substitute (a comprehensive amendment replacing the original text), and sets specific debate times and limits on further amendments.
