## Summary

**Sets strict rules for House debate and amendment on four bills.** It limits debate time, waives points of order, treats bills as read, and locks in specific amendments for some measures while protecting certain agency actions from being affected by an environmental-change amendment. - House members: Debate on each named bill is capped at 1 hour and split between relevant committee chairs and ranking members, and each bill generally allows only one motion to recommit. - Federal agencies and ongoing rule fixes: The amendment labeled "Preservation of Ongoing Administrative Corrections" says the Act and its amendments do not apply to any agency action for which a federal agency, between January 20, 2025 and the date of enactment, filed a motion to voluntarily remand or reopened, reconsidered, or began corrective action. - Consideration rules for specific bills: One bill’s committee substitute is treated as adopted and further amendment and final passage mechanics are tightly prescribed so debate and amendment opportunities are limited.
