Introduced

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution establishes the E-15 Rural Domestic Energy Council. The Speaker of the House will appoint members to this Council. The group is tasked with developing legislative solutions for farmers and refiners facing a crisis. They are directed to investigate topics such as Ethanol-15 sales, refinery capacity, and the Renewable Fuel Standard Program. The Council must meet regularly to develop these solutions. Finally, they must submit their findings to Congress by February 15, 2026.
