HJRES 115: Disapproving the rule submitted by the Department of Agriculture relating to "Importation of Fresh Beef From Paraguay".

This joint resolution nullifies the final rule issued by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) titled Importation of Fresh Beef From Paraguay and published on November 14, 2023. The final rule allows for the importation of fresh (chilled or frozen) beef from Paraguay into the United States under certain conditions. The United States prohibits or restricts the importation of certain animals and animal products to prevent the introduction of various animal diseases, including foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). In response to a request from Paraguay to allow the importation of fresh beef from Paraguay into the United States, APHIS conducted a risk analysis. APHIS concluded that fresh beef could be safely imported from Paraguay, provided that certain conditions are met. These conditions include that (1) FMD has not been diagnosed in the exporting region within the previous 12 months; (2) the meat originated from premises where FMD has not been present during the lifetime of any bovines slaughtered for U.S. meat export; and (3) APHIS may periodically conduct on-site evaluations and subsequent inspections of the slaughter facilities, records, and operations.

HR 3162: Protecting American Voters Act

HR 3162, the Protecting American Voters Act, requires the Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration to provide states with citizenship verification information for voter registration applicants and current registrants using the existing SAVE system. This enables states to confirm U.S. citizenship status and remove noncitizens from voter rolls based on that verification. The law prohibits federal agencies from charging states fees for this service and mandates privacy protections for Social Security numbers. It takes effect for elections held on or after January 1, 2024.

HR 7273: UNPLUG EVs Act

HR 7273 cancels unspent funds from two federal programs supporting electric vehicle charging infrastructure. It rescinds unused balances from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program (under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) and another highway grant program, redirecting them to the U.S. Treasury for deficit reduction. This bill does not affect current grants or future funding for EV projects; it only redirects unobligated money already allocated but not yet spent. The policy change is purely financial, with no new requirements or impacts on states, businesses, or consumers.

HJRES 114: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Federal Highway Administration relating to "National Performance Management Measures; Assessing Performance of the National Highway System, Greenhouse Gas Emissions Measure".

HJRES 114 is a joint resolution seeking congressional disapproval of a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) rule that would have required tracking greenhouse gas emissions as part of assessing performance for the National Highway System. The rule, published in the Federal Register in December 2023, aimed to establish specific metrics for evaluating highway system performance, including emissions data. If approved, this resolution would nullify the rule, preventing the FHWA from implementing the emissions tracking requirement. This action directly affects how the FHWA measures highway system performance, specifically regarding environmental metrics.

HJRES 111: Disapproving the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Furnaces".

This resolution disapproves a Department of Energy rule that would have set new energy efficiency standards for consumer furnaces. The rule, published in the Federal Register (88 Fed. Reg. 87502), aimed to require furnace manufacturers to produce models meeting higher energy conservation levels. If enacted, this resolution would cancel the rule, preventing it from taking effect. As a result, current energy efficiency standards for furnaces would remain unchanged, and manufacturers would not face the new requirements.

HR 7117: Driver Data Control Act of 2024

HR 7117, the Driver Data Control Act of 2024, limits access to data from vehicle safety recorders (EDRs) to protect owners' privacy. It requires federal law enforcement to obtain a warrant, court order (with 48-hour owner notice), or use data solely for emergency medical care in crashes. The bill prohibits insurers, lienholders, and lessors from accessing EDR data without written owner consent, banning conditions that tie insurance claims, payments, or lease agreements to data access. This directly affects vehicle owners, law enforcement, and insurance/leasing companies by establishing clear consent rules and restricting data use.
