Bill Analysis
H.Res. 1075 is a House procedural measure (a “rule”) that sets the terms for floor consideration of two specific energy-related bills: H.R. 4626 and H.R. 4758. It does not itself change substantive law, create programs, or authorize funding; instead, it governs how the House debates and votes on those bills.
Substantive focus via referenced bills:
- H.R. 4626: Would amend the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) to bar the Secretary of Energy from issuing new or revised federal energy conservation standards for covered products unless those standards are both technologically feasible and economically justified. This directly affects the Department of Energy’s (DOE) appliance and equipment efficiency rulemakings, and indirectly affects manufacturers, consumers, and energy markets.
- H.R. 4758: Would repeal provisions of Public Law 117‑169 (the Inflation Reduction Act) that provide federal subsidies for home electrification (e.g., rebates or tax incentives for electric appliances, home energy upgrades, or related electrification measures). This would affect DOE and potentially other agencies administering those subsidies, as well as households and contractors that would otherwise benefit from them.
Key procedural elements typically contained in such a rule (though exact text is not reproduced here) include:
- How much debate time is allowed on each bill and how it is divided between majority and minority.
- Whether the bills are considered under a “closed,” “structured,” or “open” rule (i.e., whether and which amendments may be offered).
- Whether previous question is ordered (limiting further procedural motions).
- Instructions on how the House will handle motions to recommit and final passage votes.
Beneficiaries/regulated parties:
- Regulated: DOE’s standard-setting authority is procedurally constrained via H.R. 4626; home electrification subsidy frameworks are curtailed via H.R. 4758.
- Affected stakeholders: Appliance and equipment manufacturers, energy-efficiency advocates, utilities, homeowners, and taxpayers.
Timeline:
- H.Res. 1075 applies only to the House’s consideration period for H.R. 4626 and H.R. 4758.
- The latest action—“Motion to reconsider laid on the table agreed to without objection”—finalizes House adoption of the rule, clearing the way for debate and votes on the two bills.
