On the Motion to Proceed
On the Motion to Proceed
The Senate rejected a motion to proceed to a resolution regarding EPA air plan regulations on a party-line vote.
The Senate rejected a procedural motion to proceed to the consideration of a joint resolution regarding the disapproval of an Environmental Protection Agency air plan rule. The motion failed on a party-line vote, preventing the measure from moving forward for floor debate. The resolution had previously been discharged from the Committee on Environment and Public Works and placed on the legislative calendar prior to this floor action.
The rejection of the motion to proceed on a party-line vote prevents the Senate from beginning formal consideration or debate on the joint resolution. While the measure remains on the Senate Legislative Calendar, this vote effectively halts its immediate advancement toward a final decision on the Environmental Protection Agency rule. Further procedural steps on the underlying resolution would require a new motion to proceed or a different legislative path.
Motion to proceed to Cal. #364 , S.J.Res.139 , disapproving the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Air Plan Disapproval; Colorado; Regional Haze Plan for the Second Implementation Period" (Bennet)
