Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This House resolution sets the rules for debating two separate bills on the House floor. The first bill, H.R. 471, would streamline environmental reviews and speed up forest management activities on federal lands managed by the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, as well as on tribal lands, with the goal of reducing wildfire risks in overgrown forests. The second bill, S. 5, would require the Department of Homeland Security to detain immigrants who have been charged with theft crimes in the United States. The resolution limits debate time to one hour for each bill and restricts which amendments can be offered during consideration. Both bills would affect federal land management practices and immigration enforcement policies respectively, though the resolution itself does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines.
