“On agreeing to the Rules amendment (A001) Agreed to without objection.”
This amendment replaces the entire original text of the bill with a new version recommended by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. It was automatically adopted as part of the procedural rules for debating the bill, meaning this updated version is what the House actually voted on.
In Congress, committees often rewrite or 'clean up' bills after they are first introduced; this amendment ensures that the most thoroughly vetted version of the bill is the one that moves forward.
This change affects the legal structure of the D.C. cleanup and safety programs described in the main bill, though the broad goals of the bill remain the same.
