What Congress Said
Members who spoke about this bill on the floor, in their own words from the Congressional Record.

For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the purpose of debate only.
The risk is so significant that the Coast Guard wrote to California highlighting this concern. Multiple maritime labor unions also oppose California's regulations and urged EPA to reject the waiver due to these safety concerns.
I rise in support of H.J. Res. 213, which overturns a Biden-era EPA waiver that gave California sweeping authority to impose burdensome and unrealistic zero-emission requirements on commercial harbor craft.
I rise in support of this rule, which would allow the House to consider two important pieces of legislation that improve the Federal Government's ability to combat taxpayer fraud.
I rise today in support of House Resolution 1530. If we pass this rule, the House will vote on legislation to continue to root out rampant fraud and deliver crucial deregulation to the benefit of the American consumer.
This is the last week the House is in session before Americans head to the polls in November. Two weeks ago, the House was scheduled to work through the end of September. Now, Republican leadership canceled the final 2 weeks. That means whatever Republicans choose to do this week, that is it.
California's protections ensure polluters are held accountable for the environmental and public health harms that they are causing to environmental justice communities. We should be learning from California on how to protect our communities from polluters, but instead we have this resolution today, H.J.
As chair of the California congressional delegation, I rise to strongly oppose this resolution and note that every Democratic House Member from California opposes it.
To combat this rampant corruption, I recently introduced H.R. 10032, the No Payoffs for Pardons Act. This legislation will bring desperately needed transparency and accountability to the Presidential pardon process. It will prevent Presidents from exchanging clemency for financial or political favors.
