Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
This resolution is a procedural measure from the House Rules Committee that sets the terms for debating and voting on three separate bills. It allows the House to consider H.R. 8932, which would move up the processing timeline for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), affecting students and families applying for college financial aid. It also sets up consideration of H.R. 7409, which would waive federal drilling permit requirements and certain environmental review rules under the National Environmental Policy Act for specific geothermal energy activities, and H.R. 8446, which would expand the definition of "critical mineral" under the Energy Act of 2020 to include additional critical materials, potentially affecting mining, manufacturing, and supply-chain policy. For each bill, the resolution waives procedural objections, allows for one hour of debate divided between majority and minority committee leaders, and permits one motion to recommit before a final vote. The resolution itself does not create new programs or spending but simply governs how and when these three substantive bills will be debated and voted on in the House.
