Summary
House Resolution 1052 is a procedural measure known as a "rule" that established the specific terms and conditions for the House of Representatives to debate and vote on two separate pieces of legislation. The first, the Expanding Access to Capital Act (H.R. 2799), focuses on financial reforms intended to make it easier for small businesses to raise money and for individuals to access private investment markets. The second, the Laken Riley Act (H.R. 7511), requires federal immigration authorities to detain any noncitizen who has been charged with or convicted of theft, burglary, or shoplifting. By passing this resolution, the House cleared the way for formal consideration and subsequent passage of both bills.
