Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 185) to terminate the requirement imposed by the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for proof of COVID-19 vaccination for foreign travelers, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 24) disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022; and providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 26) disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Revised Criminal Code Act of 2022.

HRES 97 is a procedural resolution that enables the House of Representatives to debate and vote on three specific measures. It would allow consideration of H.R. 185 (ending the CDC’s requirement for foreign travelers to show COVID-19 vaccination proof), H.J. Res. 24 (disapproving D.C.’s Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act), and H.J. Res. 26 (disapproving D.C.’s Revised Criminal Code Act). The resolution streamlines the process by waiving objections, limiting debate time, and setting rules for amendments. This affects foreign travelers subject to CDC travel rules and D.C. residents impacted by the disapproved local laws. The resolution itself does not change policy but facilitates congressional action on these three items.
