Bill H.R.7799 titled “To regulate the posting of personal information of government officials on the internet, and for other purposes” was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce and in addition to the Committees on Oversight and Reform House Administration and the Judiciary 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. French Hill.
Bill H.R.7805 titled “To amend title 13, United States Code, to prohibit the use of questions on citizenship, nationality, or immigration status in any decennial census, and for other purposes” was referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Del. Holmes Norton Eleanor.
Bill H.Res.1127 titled “Honoring our Nation's fallen law enforcement officers for National Police Week”. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Clay Higgins with Mike Johnson as cosponsor.
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.
