Bill S.3997 titled “LBL Recreation and Heritage Act Land Between the Lakes Recreation and Heritage Act” was read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources (text: CR S1982-1983) by the Senate. The bill is sponsored by Mitch Sen. McConnell.
The Energy and Natural Resources 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.
