This measure sets up debate and votes in the U.S. House on several topics. It does not change any laws by itself. Instead, it clears the way for the House to consider bills about crime and justice in Washington, DC; how police car chases are handled; when minors can be tried as adults; the makeup of DC’s court system; speeding up power grid connections; bringing back a federal coal advisory group; and a clearer process for approving cross‑border energy pipelines and power lines .
If those later bills pass, they could affect youth offender rules in DC (including posting public data on juvenile crime and limiting sentence changes), set standards for police pursuits in DC, lower the age when a minor can be tried as an adult to 14, end the DC Judicial Nomination Commission, direct federal regulators to improve the queue for new electricity projects, reestablish the National Coal Council, and create a more uniform process for oil, gas, and electricity facilities that cross international borders .
