HJRES 165: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Education relating to "Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance".

HJRES 165 is a congressional resolution seeking to block a Department of Education rule issued in April 2024 that updated protections against sex discrimination in schools receiving federal funding. The resolution aims to disapprove this specific rule (published as 89 Fed. Reg. 33474), which would have required schools to address sex-based discrimination in educational programs. If passed, the rule would no longer be in effect, meaning schools would not need to comply with its requirements. This resolution directly affects all schools and educational programs receiving federal financial assistance, as it targets the implementation of the new nondiscrimination standard.

HR 8281: SAVE Act

The SAVE Act (HR 8281) requires U.S. citizens to provide documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. It defines acceptable proof as documents like passports, REAL ID-compliant IDs, military IDs, or birth certificates, and mandates that states verify citizenship using information from government agencies like DHS and Social Security. States must establish processes for voters without required documentation to provide an attestation under penalty of perjury. The law also requires states to remove noncitizens from voter rolls when verified evidence shows they're not citizens. This bill directly affects all applicants registering to vote in federal elections and state election officials who must implement these requirements.

HJRES 188: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of the Interior relating to "Conservation and Landscape Health".

HJRES 188 is a joint resolution seeking to disapprove a Department of the Interior rule on conservation and landscape health. The rule, published in the Federal Register on May 9, 2024 (89 Fed. Reg. 40308), would have established new federal guidelines for managing public lands. This resolution invokes the congressional disapproval process under Title 5, U.S. Code, to prevent the rule from taking effect.

HJRES 148: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of the Treasury relating to "Clean Vehicle Credits Under Sections 25E and 30D; Transfer of Credits; Critical Minerals and Battery Components; Foreign Entities of Concern".

HJRES 148 is a joint resolution seeking to block a Treasury Department rule that would have modified clean vehicle tax credits. The rule, published in the Federal Register on May 6, 2024, aimed to restrict credits for vehicles using critical minerals or battery components sourced from "Foreign Entities of Concern" and to limit credit transfers. This resolution would nullify that rule, preventing it from taking effect and preserving the existing structure of the clean vehicle credit program under Sections 25E and 30D of the tax code. It directly affects electric vehicle buyers, manufacturers, and dealers participating in the federal tax credit program.

S 912: Mining Schools Act of 2023

The Mining Schools Act of 2023 creates a Department of Energy grant program to strengthen domestic mining education at eligible colleges and universities. It authorizes up to 10 annual grants for institutions with accredited mining programs or specific geology/engineering departments in states with significant mining economies, focusing on recruiting students and advancing education in critical minerals, sustainable extraction, and environmental reclamation. Grant funds must support concrete educational initiatives like improving mineral processing technology, reducing environmental impacts, and developing domestic supply chains for critical minerals. An advisory board of industry and academic experts will help select grantees and ensure funds are used as intended, with $10 million annually allocated for fiscal years 2024-2031. The bill repeals a 1984 law related to mining research but centers on building U.S. workforce capacity for domestic mineral production.
