Summary

What the bill does

This resolution sets the rules for debating and voting on several bills about crime and energy in the District of Columbia. It allows the House to consider bills that would limit youth offender status, set rules for police car chases, lower the age for trying minors as adults, and end a judicial commission. It also lets the House consider bills about energy projects, such as speeding up approvals for power lines and reestablishing a coal advisory group.
