Bill Analysis
Bill Summary: HRES 879 (119th Congress)
HRES 879 is a resolution that outlines the procedures for the House of Representatives to consider several legislative items related to natural resource management, law enforcement, and social policy. The resolution facilitates the consideration of multiple joint resolutions and bills aimed at disapproving specific Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rules and addressing various legislative issues.
Key Provisions:
Disapproval of BLM Rules: The resolution provides for the consideration of three joint resolutions (S.J. Res. 80, H.J. Res. 130, H.J. Res. 131) that seek congressional disapproval of BLM’s decisions regarding:
- The National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska Integrated Activity Plan.
- The Buffalo Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment.
- The Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program Record of Decision. These actions are intended to challenge federal regulations affecting oil and gas leasing and management on public lands.
Legislation on Energy and Natural Gas: The resolution includes provisions for considering H.R. 1949, which aims to repeal restrictions on the export and import of natural gas, and H.R. 3109, requiring the Secretary of Energy to direct the National Petroleum Council to report on petrochemical refineries in the U.S.
Social Policy Measures: HRES 879 also encompasses consideration of H.R. 5107, which seeks to repeal the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022, and H.R. 5214, which mandates pretrial and post-conviction detention for certain violent crimes and requires cash bail for offenses deemed a threat to public safety in the District of Columbia.
Funding/Authorities: The bill does not allocate direct funding but sets the stage for legislative actions that may impact funding and regulatory authorities related to energy and law enforcement.
Beneficiaries/Regulated Entities: The resolution primarily affects stakeholders in the oil and gas industry, law enforcement agencies, and residents of the District of Columbia.
Timeline: The latest action on HRES 879 was the motion to reconsider, which was laid on the table and agreed to without objection, indicating procedural advancement in the legislative process.
