Bill H.R.7548 titled “Securing Americans from Transportation Insanity Act” was referred to the House Committee on Homeland Security by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Lauren Boebert with Dan Bishop, Ben Cline, Byron Donalds, Jeff Duncan, Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert, Bob Good, Ronny Jackson, Brian Mast, Mary Miller, Ralph Norman as cosponsors.
The Homeland Security Committee moves forward in some way on one bill per day, taking one action 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.
