Bill S.Res.576 titled “A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of National Public Health Week”. The bill is sponsored by with Richard Blumenthal, Sherrod Brown, Martin Heinrich, Angus King, Amy Klobuchar, Edward Markey, Alex Padilla, Tina Smith, Chris Van Hollen as cosponsors.
The Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee moves forward in some way on one bill per day.
Most bills have a hearing where those involved explain why they are for or against the bill. Roughly 8,000 bills are addressed by committees each year but only about 800 make it to the floor of Congress, according to ushistory.org.
A 2019 report from the Brookings Institute argued committees aren’t capable of delving fully into the issues they address and are forced to rely on lobbyists.
