Rules for debating energy standards and foreign gifts
Sponsored by Virginia Foxx
What the bill does
This resolution sets the rules for debating and voting on three separate measures in the House. It allows consideration of two resolutions to block new energy efficiency rules for walk-in coolers, freezers, and commercial refrigerators. It also allows consideration of a bill that would require colleges to disclose more about foreign gifts and ban contracts with certain foreign entities.
The stakes
This resolution determines whether the House will vote on blocking energy efficiency standards that could affect businesses and consumers, and on increasing transparency about foreign influence in higher education.
