Bill H.R.7606 titled “Meat and Poultry Special Investigator Act of 2022” was referred to the House Committee on Agriculture by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Davis Spanberger Abigail with Mariannette Miller-Meeks as cosponsor.
The Agriculture 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.
