Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture relating to "Law Enforcement; Criminal Prohibitions".

# Summary of HJRES 36 **What the Bill Would Do:** This resolution is a "disapproval resolution" that would reject a Forest Service rule about law enforcement and criminal prohibitions. If passed, it would overturn the rule using a fast-track congressional process that prevents lengthy debate and filibustering. The resolution doesn't specify the exact details of what the Forest Service rule contains, but it targets regulations the agency created regarding how law enforcement operates on national forests and what activities are criminalized there. **Who It Affects:** The rule would primarily affect people who use national forests—including visitors, outdoor recreationists, hunters, and campers—as well as Forest Service employees responsible for enforcing the law on federal forest lands.

The specifics of how the rule impacts these groups depend on what criminal prohibitions and enforcement procedures it establishes. **Current Status:** The resolution was introduced by Representative Celeste Maloy (R-UT) and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't yet advanced to a floor vote. Without more information about the rule's specific contents, it's unclear what concerns prompted the disapproval resolution or what opposition to the rule exists.
