Bill Summary: HRES 489 (119th Congress)
HRES 489 is a resolution that facilitates the consideration of several significant legislative proposals affecting the District of Columbia (D.C.) and federal drug policy. The resolution outlines the procedural framework for debating four specific bills:
H.R. 884: This bill seeks to prohibit non-citizens from voting in D.C. elections and aims to repeal the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, which previously allowed non-citizen residents to vote in local elections. This measure directly impacts voting rights and election integrity within D.C.
H.R. 2056: This legislation mandates that D.C. comply with federal immigration laws, potentially affecting local governance and law enforcement practices related to immigration status.
H.R. 2096: This bill restores collective bargaining rights for law enforcement officers in D.C., allowing them to negotiate disciplinary matters. It also reinstates the statute of limitations for disciplinary actions against members of the Metropolitan Police Department, which could influence police accountability and operational protocols.
S. 331: This bill amends the Controlled Substances Act to address the scheduling of fentanyl-related substances, aiming to enhance federal control over these drugs amid rising concerns about opioid abuse and public health.
The resolution does not allocate funding but establishes the legislative pathway for these bills to be debated and voted upon in Congress. The key beneficiaries of these proposals include D.C. residents, law enforcement personnel, and the broader public impacted by drug policy.
The latest action on HRES 489 involved a motion to reconsider being laid on the table, which was agreed to without objection, indicating a procedural step that allows for further discussion or amendments if necessary. This resolution is a critical step in shaping the legislative agenda concerning D.C. governance and federal drug policy.
