The bill is sponsored by Rep. Terri Sewell with Danny Davis, Gregory Murphy, Brad Wenstrup as cosponsors.
The Ways and Means Committee moves forward in some way on three 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.
