Summary
H.Res. 1085 is a procedural measure, known as a "rule," that established the parameters for the House of Representatives to debate and vote on a package of energy and environmental bills. By passing this resolution, the House cleared the way to consider legislation aimed at increasing domestic fossil fuel production and rolling back various environmental regulations and programs.
The practical impact of the underlying bills included in this rule would be to eliminate a $27 billion federal "greenhouse gas reduction fund," prevent the federal government from banning hydraulic fracturing (fracking), and block new Bureau of Land Management rules regarding oil and gas leasing on public lands. Additionally, the package includes measures to streamline water permitting processes for development projects and formalizes a congressional stance against the implementation of a national carbon tax. While the resolution itself is a procedural step, it facilitates a legislative agenda focused on prioritizing traditional energy production and reducing federal oversight of environmental impacts.
