HRES-405 : Still Just a Bill

This is a resolution (H. Res. 405) from the House of Representatives regarding the consideration of three bills related to law enforcement. Here's a breakdown:

  • Purpose: Sets the terms for debating and voting on three specific House bills. It streamlines the process by waiving certain procedural rules.
  • Waiving Points of Order: This means objections based on technicalities or rule violations are not allowed, speeding up the process.
  • Amendment Adoption: The amendments to each bill recommended by the House Judiciary Committee are automatically considered adopted.
  • Debate Time: One hour of debate is allowed for each bill, divided equally between the chair and ranking minority member of the Judiciary Committee (or their designees).
  • Motion to Recommit: Only one motion to send the bill back to committee for further review is allowed.
  • Bills Under Consideration:
    • H.R. 2240: Requires the Attorney General to develop reports on violent attacks against law enforcement officers.
    • H.R. 2243: Amends title 18 of the United States Code to improve the Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act and provisions related to concealed carry of weapons by law enforcement.
    • H.R. 2255: Allows federal law enforcement officers to purchase their retired service weapons.

In essence, this resolution is a procedural step to expedite the House's consideration of these three law enforcement-related bills.
