Bill S.4290 titled “A bill to impose certain requirements relating to the renegotiation or reentry into the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or other agreement relating to Iran's nuclear program, and for other purposes” was read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations by the Senate. The bill is sponsored by Sen. Marsha Blackburn with Mike Braun, Bill Cassidy, Kevin Cramer, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, Thomas Tillis as cosponsors.
The Foreign Relations 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.
