Rules for debating bank mergers and EPA air rules
Sponsored by Nicholas A. Langworthy
What the bill does
This resolution sets the rules for debating two other bills in the House. One bill would block a banking rule on reviewing merger applications. The other would block an EPA rule on how factories are classified under the Clean Air Act. It also makes it easier to fast-track certain budget-related bills.
The stakes
This resolution decides how the House will debate and vote on two important issues: bank mergers and air pollution rules. The outcome could affect how banks grow and how strictly factories must control their emissions.
