Bill H.Res.1051 titled “Expressing support for the designation of the week of April 11 through April 17, 2022, as the fifth annual Black Maternal Health Week to bring national attention to the maternal health crisis in the United States and the importance of reducing maternal mortality and morbidity among Black women and birthing persons”. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Alma Adams.
Bill H.Res.1052 titled “Supporting the goals and ideals of a National Move Over Law Day”. The bill is sponsored by Rep. James McGovern.
The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee moves forward in some way on three bills per day, taking two actions on average 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.
