Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1449) to amend the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 to increase the frequency of lease sales, to require replacement sales, and for other purposes, and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 9495) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to postpone tax deadlines and reimburse paid late fees for United States nationals who are unlawfully or wrongfully detained or held hostage abroad, to terminate the tax-exempt status of terrorist supporting organizations, and for other purposes.

Bill 118 HRES 1576 is a legislative proposal that sets the stage for the consideration of two separate bills in the US Congress. The first bill, H.R. 1449, aims to amend the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 by increasing the frequency of lease sales and requiring replacement sales. The purpose of this amendment is to promote the development of geothermal energy resources in the United States.

The second bill, H.R. 9495, seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 in several ways. Firstly, it proposes to postpone tax deadlines and reimburse paid late fees for US nationals who are unlawfully or wrongfully detained or held hostage abroad. This provision aims to provide financial relief to individuals who have faced such unfortunate circumstances.

Additionally, H.R. 9495 aims to terminate the tax-exempt status of organizations that support terrorism. This measure is intended to prevent terrorist organizations from benefiting from tax-exempt status and to cut off a potential source of funding for such groups. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 1576 sets the stage for the consideration of these two bills, which address important issues related to geothermal energy development and the financial and legal rights of US nationals abroad.
