Homeland Security Committee and the bills it addressed on April 27

The Homeland Security Committee handled H.R.7600 bill on April 27, according to the US Congress.

Bill H.R.7600 titled “TSA Act Traditional Screening Application Act” was referred to the House Committee on Homeland Security by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Debbie Lesko with Ted Budd, Madison Cawthorn, Rodney Davis, Jeff Duncan, Louie Gohmert, Bob Good, Glenn Grothman, Jody Hice, Ralph Norman, W. Steube 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.
