This bill repeals federal energy efficiency standards for manufactured housing that were set to take effect in 2022. It specifically nullifies a Department of Energy rule published in May 2022, removing requirements for energy conservation in manufactured homes. The change directly affects manufacturers and buyers of manufactured housing by eliminating these new efficiency mandates. The bill does not establish new standards but removes existing ones from the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.
This bill expands the Miccosukee Reserved Area (MRA) to include Osceola Camp within Everglades National Park, directly affecting the Miccosukee Tribe by adding specific land to their protected area. The expansion uses a designated map (dated July 2023) for precise boundaries, requiring the National Park Service to keep it publicly available and file copies with Miami-Dade County and the Tribe. It also mandates that the Secretary of the Interior, within two years of enactment and in consultation with the Tribe, implement flood protection measures for structures in Osceola Camp. These changes formalize land boundaries and address flooding risks for the Tribe's properties within the park.
The SPEED Act reforms the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to streamline federal environmental reviews for projects. It limits agencies to considering only "proximate" environmental effects directly tied to a specific project (not speculative or distant impacts), sets strict 180-day deadlines for court remands, and restricts judicial review to procedural errors - not environmental outcomes. This primarily affects federal agencies (like the EPA or Corps of Engineers) and project developers (e.g., for infrastructure, energy, or construction projects) by reducing review scope and accelerating approvals. The bill clarifies NEPA is purely procedural, prohibiting courts from substituting their judgment on environmental effects or delaying actions for new scientific data after deadlines.
This bill, titled "Pet and Livestock Protection Act," is misleading; it actually focuses on gray wolf management. It requires the Secretary of the Interior to reissue a 2020 rule removing gray wolves from the endangered species list within 60 days of enactment. The bill also prohibits courts from reviewing this reissuance. This directly affects gray wolf populations and management policies in states where wolves are present, shifting regulatory control away from federal endangered species protections.
HJRES 130 is a congressional disapproval resolution that blocks a specific rule issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for its Buffalo Field Office. The resolution, enacted December 11, 2025, prevents the "Buffalo Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment" from taking effect under federal law. This action directly affects the BLM's management of public lands in the Buffalo area by invalidating the resource management plan amendment. The resolution follows the Congressional Review Act process, which allows Congress to reject agency rules within a specified timeframe.
This joint resolution nullifies the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) relating to the Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan (RMP) for Alaska’s Central Yukon planning area and issued on November 12, 2024. By way of background, an RMP guides the management of lands administered by the BLM. This Central Yukon RMP modified the prior RMP for the area, including by designating 21 areas of critical environmental concern or research natural areas, encompassing approximately 3,611,000 acres.
HJRES 105 is a procedural resolution that blocks a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rule concerning North Dakota's resource management plan. It directs Congress to disapprove the BLM's "North Dakota Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan" (issued January 2025), which the Government Accountability Office determined qualified as a "rule" under the Congressional Review Act. The resolution states this BLM rule will have no legal effect once enacted. This action directly affects the implementation of the BLM's resource management plan for North Dakota's public lands.
This bill (SJRES 80) is a joint resolution disapproving a specific rule issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) concerning oil and gas activities in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. It directly affects the BLM's management of the reserve by nullifying its 2022 "Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision," which outlined drilling and leasing plans. The resolution invokes the Congressional Review Act (chapter 8 of title 5 U.S. Code) to formally block the rule, stating it "shall have no force or effect." This procedural action was passed by Congress and signed into law on December 5, 2025, reversing the BLM's regulatory framework for the Alaska reserve.
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.
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.
