Bill H.Res.1032 titled “Supporting the designation of April 2022 as the Month of the Military Child”. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers with Don Bacon, Sanford Bishop, Cheri Bustos, Andy Kim, Elise Stefanik as cosponsors.
The Oversight and Reform Committee moves forward in some way on two bills 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.
