PERMIT Act
Sets special House procedures for expedited consideration of a set of separate bills on topics including closed-end investment companies investing in private funds, assessments of the electricity generation and transmission supply chain, a state-level reliable generation standard, interagency coordination for certain natural gas authorizations, disinterment of a veteran’s remains, and amendments to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. It limits debate, waives many points of order, treats committee substitutes as adopted for floor consideration, and generally restricts amendment opportunities while allowing one motion to recommit for most items. Also permits House leaders to skip some routine daily organizational and legislative business on certain days during the second session through January 6, 2026, and authorizes two committee chairs to insert explanatory materials about the veterans’ disinterment matter into the Congressional Record no later than December 12, 2025.

The Speaker may, at any time after adoption of this resolution, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of H.R. 3383 (the bill to amend the Investment Company Act of 1940 regarding closed-end companies investing in private funds).
The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with.
All points of order against consideration of the bill are waived.
General debate is confined to the bill and specified amendments and shall not exceed one hour, equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Financial Services or their designees.
After general debate, the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule.
Primary direct impacts:
House operations and Members: Changes how the House conducts floor business for the covered measures, concentrating debate control with committee chairs and leadership and limiting amendment access. Members outside the committee or leadership will have fewer opportunities to offer amendments or extend debate on these measures.
Committees named in the resolution (Energy and Commerce; Armed Services; Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence; Rules): Receive expedited floor consideration of their reported measures and control over debate time or amendment managers designated for the floor. Two specified committee chairs gain a temporary floor-record insertion privilege for explanatory material on the veterans matter.
Stakeholders affected by the underlying bills: Entities and people targeted by the substance of the underlying measures—including asset managers and investors involved with closed-end companies investing in private funds; companies in the electricity generation and transmission supply chains and related suppliers; natural gas project applicants and developers; veterans and families involved in the specific disinterment case; and public water systems and communities affected by Clean Water Act amendments—are indirectly affected because the resolution makes it likelier those measures move quickly to final House votes. The resolution itself does not change substantive law; the ultimate effects depend on passage of each underlying bill and any Senate action.
Public transparency and minority participation: By waiving points of order and restricting amendments, the resolution speeds consideration but reduces floor opportunities for broader membership input and debate, which can affect transparency and minority influence over final language.
Net effect: The resolution expedites legislative consideration of multiple, unrelated measures, increasing the probability of timely floor votes but reducing opportunities for extended debate and amendment on those measures in the House.
