Bill H.R.7833 titled “To direct the Secretary of the Interior to authorize the repair of the damaged Stiltsville structure in Biscayne National Park, Florida, and for other purposes” was referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Elvira Salazar Maria with Mario Diaz-Balart, Carlos Gimenez, Jenniffer Gonzalez-Colon as cosponsors.
Bill H.R.7848 titled “To promote meeting domestic energy needs with domestic energy production, and for other purposes” was referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Blake Moore.
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.
