Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
This is a procedural rule from the House Rules Committee that sets the terms for debating and voting on three separate pieces of legislation. It allows the House to take up H.R. 7673, which would block the Department of Energy from imposing energy conservation standards on clothes washers unless those standards are both cost-effective and technologically achievable, with one hour of debate and a motion to recommit allowed. It also sets up consideration of S. 4199, a bill authorizing new federal district judgeships and converting some temporary judge positions into permanent ones, again with an hour of debate and a chance for a motion to commit. Finally, the rule allows the House to take up the Senate's amended version of H.R. 5009, which reauthorizes wildlife habitat and conservation programs, and permits the Armed Services Committee chair to offer a substitute amendment based on a specific Rules Committee text, with one hour of debate. This resolution itself doesn't change policy directly—it simply governs how and when these three unrelated bills will be debated and voted on by the full House.
