Summary of Bill HRES 535

Bill 117 HRES 535 is a resolution in the US Congress that sets the rules for considering three different bills. The first bill, H.R. 2467, aims to require the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to classify per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances as hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980. This would give the EPA more power to regulate these harmful chemicals and hold polluters accountable for their impact on the environment.

The second bill, H.R. 2668, seeks to amend the Federal Trade Commission Act to confirm the authority of the Federal Trade Commission to seek permanent injunctions and other equitable relief for violations of any law enforced by the Commission. This bill would strengthen the FTC's ability to enforce consumer protection laws and hold businesses accountable for deceptive practices.

The third bill, H.R. 3985, aims to expedite the special immigrant visa process for certain Afghan allies under the Afghan Allies Protection Act of 2009. This bill would make it easier for Afghan allies who have supported the US military and government to immigrate to the United States and seek refuge from persecution in their home country. Overall, Bill 117 HRES 535 sets the stage for the consideration of these important pieces of legislation that address environmental protection, consumer rights, and support for Afghan allies.
