Bill Analysis
Bill Summary: HRES 199 (118th Congress)
HRES 199 is a resolution that facilitates the consideration of three distinct legislative measures in the U.S. House of Representatives.
H.R. 140: This bill aims to amend Title 5 of the United States Code to prohibit federal employees from advocating for censorship of viewpoints in their official capacities. This measure seeks to protect free speech and ensure that federal employees can express diverse opinions without fear of reprisal or censorship. The bill primarily affects federal employees across various agencies, promoting a culture of open dialogue within government institutions.
H.J. Res. 27: This joint resolution provides for congressional disapproval of a rule submitted by the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, Department of Defense, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concerning the “Revised Definition of ‘Waters of the United States’.” The resolution aims to challenge regulatory changes that may redefine federal jurisdiction over waterways, impacting environmental protection and land use policies. Stakeholders affected include environmental organizations, landowners, and industries reliant on water resources.
S. 619: This bill mandates the Director of National Intelligence to declassify information related to the origins of COVID-19. The intent is to enhance transparency and accountability regarding the pandemic’s origins, potentially benefiting researchers, policymakers, and the public by providing critical information for understanding and preventing future outbreaks.
The latest action on HRES 199 involved a motion to reconsider being laid on the table, which was agreed to without objection, indicating a procedural step in the legislative process. The resolution does not allocate specific funding but sets the stage for further legislative debate and potential action on the three bills it addresses. Key timelines will depend on the subsequent scheduling and consideration of these bills in the House.
