Passed House

Summary

Streamlined, time-limited House consideration speeds debate and narrows amendments for two separate bills. H.R. 471 targets faster National Environmental Policy Act reviews and increased forest management on National Forest System lands, Bureau of Land Management lands, and Tribal lands to restore fire resilience. S.5 would require the Department of Homeland Security to take into custody aliens charged in the United States with theft.

Show full summary
  • House members: Floor debate and amendment options are tightly limited. H.R. 471 gets 1 hour of general debate with amendments under a five-minute rule, and S.5 gets 1 hour of debate and one motion to commit.
  • Forest and Tribal stakeholders: The faster schedule and restricted amendment list make it harder to change H.R. 471 on the floor and shorten the window for advocacy.
  • Immigration stakeholders and defendants: S.5 moves to the floor under the same expedited, narrow-debate rules, reducing time to seek changes before final consideration.
