Bill H.R.7766 titled “To require the Secretary of the Interior to reissue regulations removing the gray wolf from the list of endangered and threatened wildlife under the Endangered Species Act of 1973” was referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Lauren Boebert with Cliff Bentz, Jack Bergman, Andy Biggs, Ken Buck, Tom Emmer, Michelle Fischbach, Russ Fulcher, Mike Gallagher, Louie Gohmert, Paul Gosar, Glenn Grothman, Doug Lamalfa, Doug Lamborn, John Moolenaar, Dan Newhouse, Scott Perry, Matthew Rosendale, Pete Stauber, Bryan Steil, Thomas Tiffany as cosponsors.
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.
