Bill Analysis
HJRES 71 is a joint resolution concerning the national emergency declared by the President on May 22, 2003, which pertains to the ongoing situation in the Republic of Iraq. This resolution aims to terminate the national emergency status that has been in effect since that date, effectively ending the legal framework that allows for certain executive powers and actions related to the emergency.
The resolution asserts that the circumstances necessitating the national emergency have significantly changed and that the continuation of such a declaration is no longer warranted. By terminating this emergency status, the resolution seeks to restore normal legislative processes and oversight that may have been constrained under the emergency powers.
Key provisions of HJRES 71 include the formal revocation of the emergency declaration and the associated authorities that have allowed for the imposition of sanctions and other measures against individuals and entities related to Iraq. This action would impact various federal agencies, including the Department of State and the Department of Treasury, which have been involved in the enforcement of sanctions and other measures under the emergency declaration.
The primary beneficiaries of this resolution are U.S. citizens and businesses that may have been affected by the sanctions and restrictions imposed under the emergency powers. By ending the national emergency, the resolution aims to facilitate a more stable and predictable regulatory environment.
The latest action on HJRES 71 involved a motion to reconsider that was laid on the table and agreed to without objection, indicating bipartisan support for the resolution. The timeline for implementation will depend on the final passage of the resolution through Congress and subsequent presidential approval, if required, to formally conclude the emergency status.
