Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
H.
Res. 1174 is a House rule that makes in order floor consideration of three Clean Air Act-related bills (H.R. 6387, H.R. 6398, H.R. 6409) and a resolution (H.
Res. 1156) on tax policies for working families.
Rule itself is likely adopted in the House, but the substantive Clean Air Act changes face meaningful procedural and ideological hurdles in the Senate and in final enactment.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-constructed, conventional House floor-ordering resolution that clearly and specifically prescribes the procedures for considering the named measures.
Progressives see waivers as threats to EPA authority; conservatives view them as necessary relief.

Likely skeptical.
The rule expedites consideration of three Clean Air Act changes whose short titles suggest narrowing EPA authority or excluding emissions from regulatory review.
Because the rule waives points of order and limits debate, progressives would worry about rushed, potentially deregulatory outcomes (specific impacts uncertain without full bill texts).
Mixed/conditional.
The rule is a standard procedural tool to bring bills to the floor efficiently, but the waivers and one-hour limit reduce deliberation.
Centrists will weigh the merits of each underlying bill; absent their texts, they will be cautious about potential regulatory and technical consequences.
Generally favorable.
The rule expedites consideration of bills that, by title, could limit overreach by the EPA, clarify jurisdictional limits, and address wildfire-monitoring technicalities.
Conservatives will welcome constrained debate and waived points of order as enabling prompt rollbacks of regulatory obstacles.
