What it does
This resolution lets the House vote on seven bills together. Four bills change how Washington D.C. handles young people accused of crimes. Three bills change rules for energy projects like power grids and pipelines. The resolution hides a financial rule inside another bill. The House does not vote on that rule by itself.
Who it affects
Young people in Washington D.C. could face adult court starting at age 14. The D.C. Council loses power to change criminal sentences. Companies that build power lines, pipelines, and coal get faster project approval.
One thing to notice
A financial rule gets added to a different bill after the House votes on it.
