This resolution sets forth the procedural rules for the House of Representatives to consider two significant joint resolutions under the Congressional Review Act. It allows for the consideration of H.J. Res. 20, which seeks to disapprove a Department of Energy rule concerning energy conservation standards for consumer gas-fired instantaneous water heaters . Additionally, it provides for the consideration of H.J. Res. 35, aimed at disapproving an Environmental Protection Agency rule establishing a waste emissions charge for petroleum and natural gas systems . For both joint resolutions, the resolution waives all points of order against their consideration and provisions, and allocates one hour of debate equally divided between the relevant committee chairs. Furthermore, this resolution permits the Speaker to call up H. Con. Res. 14, which establishes the congressional budget for fiscal year 2025 and sets budgetary levels through 2034 . It waives points of order against this budget resolution, mandates three hours of general debate, and specifies that a particular amendment will be considered as adopted.
