Summary of HRES 298 (118th Congress)

HRES 298 is a resolution that outlines the procedural framework for the consideration of two significant legislative items in the U.S. House of Representatives: H.R. 734 and H.J. Res. 42.

H.R. 734 seeks to amend the Education Amendments of 1972, specifically Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in federally funded education programs and activities. The proposed amendment stipulates that for the purposes of Title IX compliance in athletics, an individual’s sex must be determined exclusively based on their reproductive biology and genetics at birth. This change would affect how educational institutions assess eligibility for participation in sports, potentially impacting transgender athletes and their participation in gender-specific athletic programs.

H.J. Res. 42 is a joint resolution aimed at disapproving the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022, enacted by the District of Columbia Council. This local legislation addresses policing practices and aims to reform various aspects of law enforcement in Washington, D.C. The resolution reflects congressional oversight over local governance and law enforcement policies.

The resolution HRES 298 itself does not allocate funding or create new programs but facilitates the legislative process for these two bills. The primary beneficiaries or those regulated by H.R. 734 would be students and educational institutions involved in athletics, while H.J. Res. 42 targets local governance and law enforcement practices in D.C.

The latest action on HRES 298 was the laying on the table of a motion to reconsider, which was agreed to without objection, indicating a smooth procedural advancement in the House. The timeline for further consideration of H.R. 734 and H.J. Res. 42 will depend on the House’s legislative schedule.
