Bill H.R.8347 titled “To protect the cost-of-living allowance for a member of the Armed Forces assigned to a duty station located outside the United States, and for other purposes” was referred to the House Committee on Armed Services by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Don Bacon.
The Armed Services 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.
