SRES 674: A resolution designating May 5, 2024, as the "National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls".

This resolution designates May 5, 2024, as the "National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls" to honor victims and raise public attention. It calls on the American public and organizations to commemorate affected women (both documented and undocumented cases) and show solidarity with families.

S 4255: Law Enforcement Innovate to De-Escalate Act

This bill exempts specific less-than-lethal projectile devices (like certain beanbag rounds or rubber bullets) from federal firearm restrictions, taxes, and the National Firearms Act. It defines these devices as those firing at under 500 feet per second and designed not to cause death or serious injury. The exemption applies to manufacturers, importers, and law enforcement agencies purchasing or using these devices, removing tax burdens and regulatory hurdles. The law directly affects law enforcement agencies that use such tools and the companies that produce them. It makes these devices legally distinct from traditional firearms under federal law.

S 4263: Early Participation in Regulations Act of 2024

This bill requires federal agencies to publish an advance notice 90 days before proposing major regulations, giving the public earlier opportunity to comment. A "major rule" is defined as one likely to impose $100 million or more in annual economic impact, significantly increase costs for consumers or industries, or affect competition, health, safety, or the environment. The advance notice must explain the problem the rule addresses, outline regulatory alternatives considered, and cite legal authority, followed by a 30-day public comment period. Exceptions apply for routine rules, when compliance would be impractical, or if the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs deems it unnecessary.

S 4264: SMART Act of 2024

The SMART Act of 2024 requires federal agencies to plan for and conduct post-implementation reviews of major regulations. It defines "major rules" as those with significant economic impact ($100 million+ annually), major cost increases, or substantial effects on health, safety, or competition. Agencies must create assessment frameworks before finalizing such rules and conduct reviews within 10 years to measure actual effects against predicted outcomes, including public input and cost-benefit analysis. These reviews must be published online, and agencies must justify any delays or exemptions. The law directly affects federal agencies issuing major regulations, adding a structured review process without altering the rules themselves.

S 4237: ELITE Vehicles Act

The ELITE Vehicles Act would repeal federal tax credits for purchasing electric vehicles and related infrastructure. Specifically, it eliminates the existing credit for new electric vehicles (previously under Section 30D), the credit for previously-owned clean vehicles (Section 25E), and the credit for commercial clean vehicles (Section 45W). It also removes electric vehicle recharging stations from the alternative fuel refueling credit. These changes would take effect 30 days after enactment, directly affecting individuals and businesses that currently claim these tax benefits when buying or installing qualifying electric vehicle equipment.

HR 8231: James Earl Jones Congressional Gold Medal Act

HR 8231, the James Earl Jones Congressional Gold Medal Act, authorizes a Congressional Gold Medal to be awarded to actor James Earl Jones in recognition of his distinguished career in theater and film, and his role in advancing inclusion and equal opportunities for people of all backgrounds in the entertainment industry. The Treasury will strike the medal with an image and inscription of Jones, and may produce and sell bronze duplicates to cover costs, with proceeds deposited into the U.S. Mint's public enterprise fund. This bill serves as a ceremonial honor with no new legal requirements or policy changes.

HR 6285: Alaska’s Right to Produce Act of 2023

HR 6285, the Alaska’s Right to Produce Act of 2023, requires the federal government to reissue canceled oil and gas leases on six specific tracts (16, 17, 24, 26, 27, and 30) in Alaska’s Coastal Plain. It mandates the Secretary of the Interior to accept the highest valid bids from January 2021 within 30 days and issue leases by December 2024, while blocking new environmental reviews for the program. The bill also nullifies federal actions that paused leasing, including a 2023 BLM rule and a 2021 Secretarial Order, and restricts judicial review of related approvals. This directly affects oil companies that bid on the canceled leases and the Bureau of Land Management, requiring them to proceed under the 2020 Record of Decision.

SJRES 74: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles-Phase 3".

This joint resolution seeks congressional disapproval of a specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule setting greenhouse gas emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles (Phase 3). If passed, it would nullify the EPA rule (published April 22, 2024) under the Congressional Review Act, preventing it from taking effect. The rule directly affects manufacturers of trucks and buses by establishing new requirements for reducing emissions. The resolution does not create new standards but aims to block the existing EPA rule through a formal disapproval process.

SJRES 75: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Years 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles".

This joint resolution seeks to block an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule that would set new emissions standards for light- and medium-duty vehicles sold in model years 2027 and later. It directly affects automakers, as the rule would require them to meet stricter pollution limits for these vehicles. The resolution uses a congressional disapproval process under federal law to prevent the EPA rule from taking effect. If passed, the rule would be invalidated, meaning automakers would not need to comply with the 2027+ emissions standards outlined in the EPA's April 2024 proposal.

HR 6093: Weather Act Reauthorization Act of 2023

The Weather Act Reauthorization Act of 2023 reauthorizes and updates the Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act of 2017, focusing on improving weather forecasting capabilities across multiple domains. It authorizes annual funding for research and development in tornado, hurricane, and atmospheric river forecasting, with specific provisions for enhancing data collection from commercial sources and improving public communication of weather warnings. The bill establishes programs to improve data assimilation practices, support agricultural and water management applications, and enhance the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's computing resources for weather modeling. This legislation directly affects the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, its partners in the weather enterprise, and the public who rely on weather forecasts and warnings for safety and planning.

HR 4877: Abandoned Well Remediation Research and Development Act

This bill establishes a 5-year research program at the Department of Energy to study abandoned oil and gas wells. It funds research on better methods to locate these wells, plug them safely, repurpose them for uses like geothermal energy, and understand their environmental impacts - including methane emissions and groundwater risks. The program will receive $30 million in fiscal year 2024, increasing to $35 million by 2028, with coordination required from universities, labs, and private companies. It directly affects the Department of Energy and state agencies tasked with implementing the research, but does not fund direct well cleanup.
