Bill Analysis
Bill Summary: HRES 495 (118th Congress)
HRES 495 is a resolution that outlines the procedures for the consideration of several legislative measures aimed at regulating executive branch rules and prohibiting certain federal actions. Specifically, it addresses the following key components:
Disapproval of ATF Rule: The resolution provides for the consideration of H.J. Res. 44, which seeks congressional disapproval of a rule from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) concerning the “Factoring Criteria for Firearms with Attached ‘stabilizing braces’.” This rule impacts firearm regulations and aims to clarify the classification of firearms with stabilizing braces.
Amendments to Executive Rulemaking: The resolution includes provisions for H.R. 277, which proposes to amend Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the U.S. Code. This amendment would stipulate that major rules issued by the executive branch would not take effect unless a joint resolution of approval is enacted. This change is intended to enhance congressional oversight over significant regulatory actions.
Judicial Review Clarification: H.R. 288 is also included, which seeks to clarify the nature of judicial review concerning agency interpretations of statutory and regulatory provisions. This could affect how courts evaluate agency actions and interpretations.
Prohibition on Federal Funding for Gas Stove Bans: H.R. 1615 aims to prohibit the use of federal funds to implement a ban on gas stoves, thereby protecting consumer choice in cooking appliances.
Energy Conservation Standards: H.R. 1640 seeks to prevent the Secretary of Energy from finalizing or enforcing proposed energy conservation standards for conventional cooking products, impacting energy regulation and consumer products.
The latest action on HRES 495 involved a motion to reconsider being laid on the table, which was agreed to without objection, indicating a smooth procedural progression. This resolution primarily affects regulatory oversight, consumer rights, and the balance of power between Congress and executive agencies.
