Bill Summary

Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 471) to expedite under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and improve forest management activities on National Forest System lands, on public lands under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management, and on Tribal lands to return resilience to overgrown, fire-prone forested lands, and for other purposes, and providing for consideration of the bill (S. 5) to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to take into custody aliens who have been charged in the United States with theft, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This resolution provides a structured process for considering two separate bills in the House of Representatives. For H.R. 471, which relates to forest management and environmental policy, the resolution allows the Speaker to declare the House in Committee of the Whole, waives various procedural points of order, limits general debate to one hour, and establishes specific rules for amendment consideration. The bill will focus on improving forest management activities on National Forest System lands, Bureau of Land Management public lands, and Tribal lands, with the goal of reducing fire risks in overgrown forests. For S. 5, which concerns immigration enforcement, the resolution permits immediate consideration of a bill requiring the Secretary of Homeland Security to take custody of aliens charged with theft in the United States, waives points of order, provides for one hour of debate, and allows one motion to commit. Both bills will be considered under expedited procedures that limit debate and amendment opportunities, which is typical of rule resolutions designed to streamline legislative proceedings.
