SRES 400: A resolution expressing support for designation of the week of September 14 through 20, 2025, as "National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week".

This resolution (SRES 400) expresses the U.S. Senate's support for designating September 14-20, 2025, as "National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week." It does not create new laws or allocate funding but aims to raise public awareness about adult education and family literacy programs. The resolution highlights statistics on adult literacy gaps (e.g., 59 million adults lacking basic skills) and encourages broader community support for these programs. It calls on public, private, and nonprofit entities to increase access to adult education and family literacy services. The bill directly affects awareness and advocacy efforts, not policy implementation.

HRES 722: Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 5371) making continuing appropriations and extensions for fiscal year 2026, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the resolution (H. Res. 719) honoring the life and legacy of Charles Charlie James Kirk; and for other purposes.

HRES 722 is a procedural resolution that sets rules for the House of Representatives to consider two specific measures. It enables debate and passage of H.R. 5371 (a bill providing continuing funding for federal operations through fiscal year 2026) and H.Res. 719 (a resolution honoring Charles "Charlie" James Kirk). The resolution waives objections to these measures, limits debate to one hour equally divided between party leaders, and amends a prior deadline from March 31 to January 31, 2026. This resolution itself does not change policy but streamlines the process for the House to act on the two pending bills.

HR 5140: To lower the age at which a minor may be tried as an adult for certain criminal offenses in the District of Columbia to 14 years of age.

This bill lowers the age at which minors in Washington, D.C. can be tried as adults for certain crimes from 16 to 14 years old. It amends two key sections of D.C. law: changing the age for exclusion from juvenile court jurisdiction (from 16 to 14) and lowering the age for transfer to criminal court (from 15-18 to 14 across multiple scenarios). The policy directly affects minors aged 14 or older who commit specified serious offenses in D.C., removing them from the juvenile justice system. The changes apply to offenses committed on or after the bill's effective date.

HR 4922: D. C. Criminal Reforms to Immediately Make Everyone Safe Act of 2025

HR 4922, the DC Criminal Reforms to Immediately Make Everyone Safe Act of 2025 (DC CRIMES Act), modifies youth offender definitions and creates public transparency measures. It limits "youth offender" status to individuals 18 or younger (previously 24), removing provisions for 18-24 year olds in sentencing and facility planning. The bill requires the DC Attorney General to establish a public website publishing monthly juvenile crime statistics, including arrest data by age, race, sex, crime type, recidivism rates, and sentencing outcomes - without personally identifiable information. It also prohibits the DC Council from changing existing criminal sentencing laws. These provisions directly affect youth offenders aged 15-18 and DC government operations related to juvenile justice data.

HR 2721: Honoring Our Heroes Act of 2025

HR 2721, the Honoring Our Heroes Act of 2025, establishes a two-year pilot program for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide headstones or burial markers for eligible veterans. It directly affects families or representatives of veterans who died on or before November 1, 1990, by allowing them to request these markers through a VA application process. The program requires the VA to update its website with eligibility details and terminates two years after the bill's enactment. This is a procedural measure focused on commemorating specific veterans, not altering benefit eligibility or funding.

HRES 354: Providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 60) providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the National Park Service relating to "Glen Canyon National Recreation Area: Motor Vehicles"; providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 78) providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service relating to "Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Endangered Species Status for the San Francisco Bay-Delta Distinct Population Segment of the Longfin Smelt"; providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 87) providing congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Motor Vehicle and Engine Pollution Control Standards; Heavy-Duty Vehicle and Engine Emission Warranty and Maintenance Provisions; Advanced Clean Trucks; Zero Emission Airport Shuttle; Zero-Emission Power Train Certification; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision"; providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 88) providing congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Motor Vehicle and Engine Pollution Control Standards; Advanced Clean Cars II; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision"; providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 89) providing congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Motor Vehicle and Engine and Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; The "Omnibus" Low NOX Regulation; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision"; and for other purposes.

HRES 354 is a procedural resolution that sets rules for the House to vote on five separate disapproval resolutions (H.J. Res. 60, 78, 87-89). These disapproval resolutions aim to block specific federal agency rules: one from the National Park Service regarding motor vehicles in Glen Canyon, another from Fish & Wildlife on endangered smelt protections, and three from the EPA targeting California's vehicle emissions standards. The resolution streamlines debate and voting on these disapproval measures, waiving most procedural objections to allow direct consideration. If passed, the disapproval resolutions would cancel the agency rules, directly affecting how California implements vehicle pollution controls and wildlife protections. The bill itself does not change policy but enables Congress to block these specific regulations.
