Summary
H.Res. 672 is a procedural resolution that would establish the rules for considering three separate pieces of legislation in the House of Representatives. The resolution would govern debate and amendments for H.R. 4553, which would appropriate federal funding for energy and water development agencies for fiscal year 2026. Additionally, the resolution would set debate parameters for two joint resolutions (H.J. Res. 104 and H.J. Res. 105) that would allow Congress to disapprove of Bureau of Land Management resource management plans for the Miles City Field Office in Montana and the North Dakota Field Office, respectively. A third joint resolution (H.J. Res. 106) concerning a Central Yukon resource management plan would also be considered under this resolution.
As a non-binding resolution, H.Res. 672 does not directly change law or policy itself. Instead, it functions as an internal House procedural measure that determines how and when these substantive bills would be debated and voted upon. For citizens, the practical impact would depend on whether the underlying bills pass. The energy and water appropriations bill would affect federal spending on water and energy projects, while the disapproval resolutions would determine whether certain federal land management decisions proceed or are rejected.
The resolution has passed the House and now requires approval by the Senate before any of the underlying bills could advance further in the legislative process. The specific debate rules and amendment procedures established by this resolution would shape how thoroughly these measures are considered by lawmakers.
