In closing, this legislation is going to provide a whole lot of needed clarity to ensure that electric utilities are not penalized for acting quickly to restore power to those impacted by natural disasters. This legislation passed the Chamber under suspension of the rules by voice vote last December, and I look forward to the House approving it again. Mr. Speaker, I urge support for the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Graves) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 164. The question was taken. The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
