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.
