Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 471) to expedite under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and improve forest management activities on National Forest System lands, on public lands under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management, and on Tribal lands to return resilience to overgrown, fire-prone forested lands, and for other purposes, and providing for consideration of the bill (S. 5) to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to take into custody aliens who have been charged in the United States with theft, and for other purposes.

This measure does not change any laws on its own. It simply sets up House debate and voting on two separate bills: one focused on speeding up environmental reviews and improving forest management on national forests, public lands, and Tribal lands to reduce wildfire risk, and another focused on requiring federal custody of noncitizens who have been charged in the U.S. with theft .

In short, it’s a scheduling step. It clears the way for the House to consider those two bills. Any real-world changes would only happen if those bills later pass both chambers and are signed into law .

• Who is affected right now: No one directly; it only affects what the House can debate next .
• What could come next: Possible changes to forest management rules and detention rules for certain noncitizens, if the separate bills advance and become law .
