Providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 44) providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives relating to "Factoring Criteria for Firearms with Attached 'stabilizing braces'"; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 277) to amend chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, to provide that major rules of the executive branch shall have no force or effect unless a joint resolution of approval is enacted into law; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 288) to amend title 5, United States Code, to clarify the nature of judicial review of agency interpretations of statutory and regulatory provisions; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1615) to prohibit the use of Federal funds to ban gas stoves; and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R 1640) to prohibit the Secretary of Energy from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing the proposed rule titled "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Conventional Cooking Products", and for other purposes.
HRES 495 is a procedural resolution that sets rules for the House to debate and vote on five specific bills and resolutions. It enables consideration of: H.J. Res. 44 (disapproving a firearms rule), H.R. 277 (requiring congressional approval for major agency rules), H.R. 288 (clarifying judicial review of agency rules), H.R. 1615 (blocking federal funding for gas stove bans), and H.R. 1640 (stopping an energy efficiency rule for cooking products). The resolution waives most objections and limits debate time to facilitate voting on these items. It does not change policy itself but streamlines the process for the House to address these specific legislative proposals.
