The Appropriations Committee handled H.R.8254 bill on June 28, according to the US Congress.

Bill H.R.8254 titled “Making appropriations for Financial Services and General Government for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023, and for other purposesMaking appropriations for Financial Services and General Government for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023, and for other purposes” was placed on the Union Calendar Calendar No 301 by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Mike Quigley.

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.
