Bill H.R.7594 titled “Too Narrow to Succeed Act” was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Reform and in addition to the Committees on Education and Labor Financial Services Transportation and Infrastructure Armed Services and House Administration for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Joyce Beatty.
Bill H.R.7602 titled “Preventing Organizational Conflicts of Interest in Federal Acquisition Act” was referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Carolyn Maloney.
Bill H.R.7605 titled “PAST Act of 2022 Promoting Accountability and Security in Transitions Act of 2022” was referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Mike Quigley.
The Oversight and Reform Committee moves forward in some way on one bill 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.
