The Public Lands in Public Hands Act is a bipartisan bill that would ban the sale or transfer of public lands managed by the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Forest Service, except under specific conditions and where required under previous laws. Public lands are a shared legacy for everyone. Once sold off, they are typically lost to the public indefinitely.
Waves of violence by armed groups have destabilized Haiti since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021. Around 350,000 Haitian nationals would lose their status and be subject to deportation from the U.S., contrary to the UN's call for protections for all Haitians fleeing violence. HR 1689 would require the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to extend Temporary Protected Status for Haiti until April 2029.
The Building Civic Bridges Act was reintroduced in the House of Representatives on July 10. This bill, which has broad bipartisan support, establishes an Office of Civic Bridgebuilding to research civic bridge building and social cohesion and support bridge-building initiatives throughout the nation.
The SAVE Act would require in-person proof of citizenship for any citizen to register or re-register to vote. Voter registrants may use their passports to prove citizenship. However, standard driver's licenses or state ID cards alone do not prove citizenship in most states. Instead, state ID cards must be presented along with certified birth certificates, and for those whose birth name no longer matches their current name, additional documentation, such as a marriage license, is also required. Only around 43% of Americans currently hold a passport, and certified birth certificates and other documentation can be costly and time consuming to procure.
