Republican disputes over year-round ethanol sales and other amendments delayed a government funding bill. The House Rules Committee is considering which amendments to include for funding various departments. A key issue is the request from midwestern Republicans to authorize year-round E15 ethanol sales, which Rep. Zach Nunn introduced. Speaker Mike Johnson is working with agricultural district members to resolve this. Leadership is also reviewing conservative amendments that could affect funding for gender-affirming procedures and other issues.
