Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
This House resolution establishes the rules for considering three separate pieces of legislation on the House floor. Two of the measures (H.J. Res. 24 and H.J. Res. 75) would overturn Department of Energy regulations that set new energy efficiency standards for walk-in coolers, freezers, and commercial refrigeration equipment used by businesses like restaurants and grocery stores. The third measure (H.R. 1048) would require colleges and universities to more fully disclose foreign funding they receive and would prohibit them from accepting money or contracts from certain foreign countries deemed security concerns. Each piece of legislation would receive one hour of debate time, with the energy-related measures going directly to a final vote and the higher education bill allowing for additional amendments during floor consideration. The resolution does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines, as it only sets the procedural framework for debate rather than addressing the substance of the underlying legislation.
