A Republican resolution with no cosponsors
Last activity — Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
Adopted
The chamber formally agreed to it, and for a resolution that is the finish line: what it says is now officially the chamber's position, rule or tribute.
Nothing more is needed. A resolution is how a chamber speaks for itself or sets its own rules, so adopting it is what puts it into effect. It is not a law, so there is nothing for the President to sign.
Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- Adopted by the House 214–212
A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This resolution provides for the consideration of three different bills in the House of Representatives. First, H.R. 4593 seeks to amend the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to change the definition of a showerhead. Second, H.R. 5184 aims to prevent the Secretary of Energy from enforcing energy efficiency standards that apply to manufactured housing. Finally, H.R. 6938 is a bill regarding consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. The resolution establishes specific rules for debate and the consideration of these legislative items.
