Bill Analysis
Bill Summary: HRES 879 (119th Congress)
HRES 879 is a resolution that facilitates the consideration of several significant legislative items in the U.S. House of Representatives. Specifically, it provides a structured process for debating and voting on multiple joint resolutions and bills, primarily concerning actions by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and other legislative measures related to energy policy and law enforcement.
Key Provisions:
Joint Resolutions for Disapproval: The resolution allows for congressional disapproval of three BLM rules:
- S.J. Res. 80: Disapproves the “National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision.”
- H.J. Res. 130: Disapproves the “Buffalo Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment.”
- H.J. Res. 131: Disapproves the “Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program Record of Decision.”
These resolutions aim to challenge and potentially overturn BLM decisions affecting oil and gas leasing and management in Alaska and other regions.
Other Legislative Measures:
- H. Con. Res. 58: A concurrent resolution denouncing socialism.
- H.R. 1949: A bill to repeal restrictions on natural gas exports and imports.
- H.R. 3109: Requires the Secretary of Energy to direct the National Petroleum Council to report on U.S. petrochemical refineries.
- H.R. 5107: Repeals the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022.
- H.R. 5214: Mandates pretrial and post-conviction detention for violent crimes and requires cash bail for certain offenses in the District of Columbia.
Funding/Authorities: The resolution does not allocate new funding but provides the procedural framework for the House to consider these measures, which may have budgetary implications depending on the outcomes.
Beneficiaries/Regulated Entities: The bills and resolutions primarily affect the oil and gas industry, law enforcement agencies in D.C., and the general public regarding energy policy and public safety.
Key Timelines: The latest action on HRES 879 involved a motion to reconsider that was laid on the table and agreed to without objection, indicating a procedural advancement in the legislative process.
