Bill H.R.7580 titled “Clean Energy Minerals Reform Act of 2022” was referred to the Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples of the United States by the Committee on Natural Resources. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Raúl Grijalva.
The Natural Resources Committee moves forward in some way on two 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.
