This resolution establishes the Select Committee to Defeat the Mexican Drug Cartels within the House of Representatives, comprising up to 21 members appointed by the Speaker, with consultation from the minority leader for some appointments. The committee must include at least one majority member from the Committees on Appropriations, the Judiciary, Homeland Security, Armed Services, and Financial Services to ensure broad expertise. The Select Committee's sole authority is to investigate and submit policy recommendations concerning the operations and capabilities of Mexican drug cartels, including their international networks and government efforts to combat them. Importantly, this committee will not possess legislative jurisdiction and cannot take legislative action on bills or resolutions, though it may hold public hearings. The committee is mandated to report its findings, policy recommendations, and legislative proposals to the House and relevant standing committees by specific deadlines, with all reports required to be made publicly available in accessible formats. Reports may include classified or law enforcement-sensitive annexes, ensuring comprehensive analysis while protecting sensitive information.
