HR 2240: Improving Law Enforcement Officer Safety and Wellness Through Data Act

HR 2240 requires federal agencies to analyze data gaps related to law enforcement safety and wellness. Specifically, it mandates three reports within 270 days of enactment: one on attacks against officers (including ambushes), another on unreported aggressive incidents not meeting crime thresholds, and a third on officer mental health impacts and existing wellness resources. The reports will examine current data collection limitations, training effectiveness, and potential improvements to reporting systems like the Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted Data Collection. This bill focuses on gathering information to inform future policy decisions, not on creating new programs or funding. It directly affects federal agencies (Attorney General, FBI, National Institute of Justice) and aims to improve understanding of officer safety challenges.

SJRES 7: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Federal Communications Commission relating to "Addressing the Homework Gap Through the E-Rate Program".

This joint resolution seeks to block a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rule that aimed to expand internet access for schools through the E-Rate program, specifically addressing the "homework gap" by increasing funding for student connectivity. The rule, published in the Federal Register on August 20, 2024, would have modified how schools and libraries access broadband under the E-Rate program. If passed, the resolution would cancel this rule, preventing it from taking effect under federal disapproval procedures. This is a procedural action targeting a specific FCC regulatory change, not a new policy.
