Bill H.Res.1135 titled “Of inquiry requesting the President and directing the Secretary of Homeland Security to transmit, respectively, certain documents to the House of Representatives relating to the Department of Homeland Security's Disinformation Governance Board”. The bill is sponsored by Rep. David Joyce with Byron Donalds as cosponsor.
The Homeland Security 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.
