About this vote

A rule like this sets the terms for debate, such as time limits and which amendments may be offered. H.Res. 707 covers four bills on District of Columbia criminal laws, police vehicle pursuits, and judicial nominations, and three energy bills on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's process for connecting certain projects, a National Coal Council, and border-crossing facilities for oil, natural gas, and electricity; because it passed, the House could take up those bills.
