Bill H.R.7792 titled “To provide for a national water data framework, and for other purposes” was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources and in addition to the Committees on Transportation and Infrastructure Agriculture Energy and Commerce Science Space and Technology and Armed Services 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. Ann Stansbury Melanie with Sanford Bishop, Lisa Blunt Rochester, Michael Burgess, Andre Carson, Sheila Cherfilus-Mccormick, Ruben Gallego, Yvette Herrell, Susie Lee, Teresa Leger Fernandez, Joe Neguse, Tom O'halleran, Dina Titus, Rashida Tlaib as cosponsors.
The Armed Services 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.
