Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 7673) to prohibit the Secretary of Energy from prescribing or enforcing energy conservation standards for clothes washers that are not cost-effective or technologically feasible, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (S. 4199) to authorize additional district judges for the district courts and convert temporary judgeships; and providing for consideration of the Senate amendment to the bill (H.R. 5009) to reauthorize wildlife habitat and conservation programs, and for other purposes.
HRES 1612 is a procedural resolution that sets the rules for the House to consider three separate bills. It authorizes debate and voting on H.R. 7673 (which would limit energy efficiency standards for clothes washers), S. 4199 (which would add federal judges), and H.R. 5009 (which reauthorizes wildlife conservation programs). The resolution waives objections to consideration, limits debate time to one hour per bill, and specifies how amendments may be offered. It does not change policy itself but streamlines the legislative process for these bills.
