HRES 879 is a procedural resolution that would allow the House to debate and vote on multiple specific legislative items. It enables consideration of three joint resolutions seeking to block Bureau of Land Management rules about oil and gas activities in Alaska (National Petroleum Reserve, Buffalo Field Office, and Coastal Plain areas), a concurrent resolution denouncing socialism, and three bills: one to remove natural gas export/import restrictions, one requiring an energy report on refineries, and two related to criminal justice reforms in Washington, D.C. The resolution waives debate rules and points of order to streamline votes on these items. It does not change policy itself but facilitates the House's review of the referenced bills and resolutions.
