Bill H.Res.1149 titled “Commending Port Houston, the US Army Corps of Engineers, and Project 11 partners for their work on expanding the Houston Ship Channel”. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Sylvia Garcia.
The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee moves forward in some way on two 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.
