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.
This resolution (HRES 53) provides procedural rules for the House to consider two separate bills. It enables debate and voting on H.R. 471, which aims to streamline forest management projects on federal lands to reduce wildfire risks, and S. 5, which would require detaining certain individuals charged with theft. The resolution sets specific time limits for debate, waives most objections, and outlines amendment procedures for both bills. It does not change policy itself but facilitates the legislative process for these two measures.
