Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2494) to make the assault of a law enforcement officer a deportable offense, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3091) to allow Federal law enforcement officers to purchase retired service weapons, and for other purposes; and providing for consideration of the concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 40) expressing support for local law enforcement officers and condemning efforts to defund or dismantle local law enforcement agencies.
HRES 398 is a procedural resolution that sets rules for the House of Representatives to debate three specific items: H.R. 2494 (which would make assaulting a law enforcement officer a grounds for deportation), H.R. 3091 (which would let federal officers buy retired service weapons), and H. Con. Res. 40 (a resolution supporting local law enforcement). The resolution establishes time limits, debate rules, and amendment procedures for each item but does not enact any policy changes itself. It solely governs how the House will consider these measures, without altering their content or outcomes. As a procedural measure, it directly affects the House's legislative process, not the public or specific groups.
