Bill Analysis
H.Res. 1009 is a House procedural resolution that sets the terms for floor consideration of three separate measures: H.R. 6945, H.R. 6359, and H.J. Res. 140. It does not itself change substantive law or appropriate funds, but it governs how the House will debate and amend those bills.
H.R. 6945 – TANF Funds and Pregnancy Centers
- Subject: Amends part A of title IV of the Social Security Act (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, TANF).
- Purpose: Clarifies that states may use TANF block grant funds for “pregnancy centers” (often crisis pregnancy centers) and related services.
- Effect: Affects state human services agencies administering TANF; potentially benefits pregnancy centers and their clients by confirming or expanding eligible uses of TANF funds. May constrain or direct how states document such uses.
- No new federal funding is created; it modifies allowable uses of existing TANF authority.
H.R. 6359 – Information for Pregnant Students
- Subject: Higher education policy.
- Purpose: Requires institutions of higher education participating in federal student aid programs to disseminate information on rights, accommodations, and resources for pregnant students.
- Effect: Regulates colleges and universities (and indirectly benefits pregnant students) by imposing new notice and information-dissemination obligations, likely tied to Title IV eligibility. No new agency is created; implementation would fall under the Department of Education’s existing oversight.
H.J. Res. 140 – Disapproval of BLM Land Withdrawal Rule
- Subject: Congressional Review Act (CRA) disapproval of a Bureau of Land Management rule implementing Public Land Order No. 7917, which withdraws certain federal lands in Cook, Lake, and St. Louis Counties, Minnesota, from mineral or other development.
- Purpose: Nullify the BLM rule and prevent issuance of a substantially similar rule without new statutory authority.
- Effect: Directly affects BLM and land-use stakeholders (e.g., mining interests, local communities, environmental groups).
Procedural Features and Timeline
H.Res. 1009, once adopted, will specify debate time, amendment rules (e.g., closed or structured rule), and voting procedures for each measure. It places all three items on the House Calendar (No. 55) for floor action in the 119th Congress, but does not itself set external implementation deadlines.
