S 1195: Pershing County Economic Development and Conservation Act

This bill, the Pershing County Economic Development and Conservation Act, addresses the checkerboard pattern of land ownership in Pershing County, Nevada, by authorizing the federal government to sell or exchange eligible public land with private landowners through competitive bidding and appraisals. It designates several new wilderness areas (including Cain Mountain, Bluewing, and Selenite Peak) for protection from development and mining while establishing management rules for these areas. The bill also transfers approximately 10 acres of land to be held in trust for the Lovelock Paiute Tribe, with restrictions on gaming use.

HRES 909: Recognizing that immigrant justice and reproductive justice are inseparable and must be pursued together.

HRES 909 is a House resolution affirming that immigrant justice and reproductive justice are interconnected and must be addressed together. It calls on the Department of Homeland Security to reinstate protections for pregnant individuals in detention, eliminate the 5-year bar restricting immigrants’ access to federal health programs like Medicaid, and implement transparent oversight of reproductive health care in detention facilities. The resolution also urges Congress to remove barriers to health care access for immigrants and requires federal agencies to report on policies affecting reproductive health care for detained individuals. This resolution directly affects policies toward immigrants in detention, particularly regarding access to abortion, prenatal care, and mental health services, but does not create new laws.
