May 19: bills handled by Judiciary Committee

The Judiciary Committee handled H.R.7839, H.R.7854, H.Res.1134, H.Res.1136 bills on May 19, according to the US Congress.

Bill H.R.7839 titled “To prevent conflicts of interest and promote competition in the sale and purchase of digital advertising” was referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Ken Buck with David Cicilline, Pramila Jayapal, Burgess Owens as cosponsors.

Bill H.R.7854 titled “To authorize the Secretary of Homeland Security to adjust the status of certain aliens who are nationals of Venezuela to that of aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence, and for other purposes” was referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Darren Soto with Debbie Wasserman Schultz as cosponsor.

Bill H.Res.1134 titled “Recognizing the 39th anniversary of National Missing Children's Day”. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Andy Biggs with Brian Fitzpatrick, Matt Gaetz, Paul Gosar as cosponsors.

Bill H.Res.1136 titled “Establishing a Women's Bill of Rights to reaffirm legal protections afforded to women under Federal law”. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Debbie Lesko with Jim Banks, Diana Harshbarger, Vicky Hartzler, Ronny Jackson, Doug Lamalfa, Doug Lamborn, Mary Miller, Barry Moore, Ralph Norman, Victoria Spartz, Claudia Tenney as cosponsors.

The Judiciary Committee moves forward in some way on four 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.
