On the Motion to Proceed
On the Motion to Proceed
The Senate rejected a motion to proceed to S.J.Res. 188 on a party-line vote, blocking consideration of the EPA emissions resolution.
The Senate rejected a motion to proceed to the consideration of S.J.Res. 188, a joint resolution regarding Environmental Protection Agency emission standards. The procedural vote failed on a party-line basis, preventing the measure from being taken up for floor debate. This action followed the resolution's discharge from the Committee on Environment and Public Works and its placement on the legislative calendar.
The rejection of the motion to proceed on a party-line vote prevents the Senate from beginning formal consideration of the joint resolution. Because the chamber did not agree to take up the measure, the resolution remains on the legislative calendar without advancing to debate or a vote on its merits.
Motion to proceed to Cal. #409 S.J.Res.188 , disapproving the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units: Final Repeal". (Whitehouse)
