Bill Analysis
HRES 97 (118th Congress) is a resolution that outlines the procedural framework for the consideration of three significant legislative actions.
First, it addresses H.R. 185, which seeks to terminate the requirement imposed by the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for proof of COVID-19 vaccination for foreign travelers entering the United States. This bill aims to eliminate the current vaccination mandate, potentially impacting international travel protocols and public health measures related to COVID-19.
Second, HRES 97 provides for the consideration of H.J. Res. 24, a joint resolution that disapproves the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, which was approved by the District of Columbia Council. This act allows non-citizen residents of Washington, D.C., to vote in local elections. The disapproval resolution seeks to invalidate this local law, thereby reinforcing federal oversight over voting regulations in the District.
Lastly, the resolution facilitates the consideration of H.J. Res. 26, which disapproves the Revised Criminal Code Act of 2022, also enacted by the District of Columbia Council. This act aims to modernize and reform the criminal code in D.C. The disapproval resolution would prevent the implementation of these changes, maintaining the status quo regarding criminal law in the District.
The resolution does not allocate funding but establishes the legislative process for debating and voting on these measures. The primary beneficiaries of the proposed actions include foreign travelers, local residents of D.C., and the broader U.S. public who may be affected by changes in voting rights and criminal law. Key timelines include the immediate consideration of these resolutions in the legislative calendar, with the latest action indicating that a motion to reconsider was laid on the table and agreed to without objection, signaling a streamlined process for these discussions.
