The Ways and Means Committee handled H.R.7671, H.R.7676, H.R.7677, H.R.7684 bills on May 6, according to the US Congress.

Bill H.R.7671 titled “To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide a tax credit for certain indoor air quality assessments and improvements, and for other purposes” was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Jr. Beyer Donald with Lisa Blunt Rochester, Jerrold Nadler, Thomas Suozzi as cosponsors.

Bill H.R.7676 titled “To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to assist homeowners in making safety, security, and accessibility improvements to their homes” was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Charlie Crist with Thomas Suozzi as cosponsor.

Bill H.R.7677 titled “Supporting American Printed Circuit Boards Act of 2022” was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and in addition to the Committees on Energy and Commerce and Science Space and Technology 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. Anna Eshoo with Blake Moore as cosponsor.

Bill H.R.7684 titled “No Tax Breaks for Radical Corporate Activism Act” was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Brian Mast with Dan Bishop, Jeff Duncan, Louie Gohmert, Mary Miller as cosponsors.

The Ways and Means Committee moves forward in some way on three bills 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.
