Bill Summary: HJRES 68 (118th Congress)
HJRES 68 is a joint resolution concerning the national emergency declared by the President on October 27, 2006, related to the situation in Sudan. This resolution seeks to formally terminate the national emergency status that has been in effect since that declaration.
Key Provisions:
- The resolution articulates that the circumstances which warranted the initial declaration of a national emergency regarding Sudan have significantly changed, thereby justifying the termination of the emergency status.
- It asserts that the ongoing conditions in Sudan no longer pose a threat that necessitates the continuation of emergency measures.
Funding/Authorities:
- The resolution does not allocate new funding but effectively rescinds the emergency powers that may have facilitated the use of federal resources under the emergency declaration.
- It operates under the authority granted to Congress to terminate a national emergency, as outlined in the National Emergencies Act.
Programs or Agencies Affected:
- The resolution impacts federal agencies involved in foreign policy and humanitarian aid, particularly those that have been operating under the auspices of the emergency declaration, including the Department of State and the Department of Defense.
Beneficiaries/Regulated Parties:
- The termination of the national emergency is intended to benefit the people of Sudan by promoting a return to normal diplomatic relations and reducing the stigma associated with the emergency status.
- It also affects U.S. foreign policy, allowing for a more stable engagement with Sudan.
Key Timelines:
- The original emergency declaration was made on October 27, 2006.
- The latest action on HJRES 68 occurred when the motion to reconsider was laid on the table, which was agreed to without objection, indicating bipartisan support for the resolution.
In summary, HJRES 68 serves to formally end a long-standing national emergency concerning Sudan, reflecting changes in the geopolitical landscape and facilitating a shift in U.S. foreign policy towards the region.
