Summary
H.Res. 951 is a procedural resolution that sets the terms for the House to debate and vote on six separate bills. This type of resolution, called a rule, establishes how long debate will last, what amendments are allowed, and other procedural matters for consideration of legislation.
The six bills covered by this resolution address diverse policy areas. They would modify environmental review processes under the National Environmental Policy Act, establish rules for hardrock mining operations and create a fund for abandoned mines, remove gray wolves from endangered species protections, require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to review regulations affecting power grid reliability, adjust Federal Power Act requirements for electric generating facilities, and enhance efforts to combat child trafficking under existing victim protection laws.
Since this is a procedural resolution rather than substantive legislation, it does not directly change laws or create new programs. Instead, it simply allows the House to proceed with considering these six bills. The resolution has passed the House and now moves to the Senate for consideration. If approved there, the Senate would then need to separately debate and vote on each of the six underlying bills for any of them to become law.
