Bill H.R.8401 titled “To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to modify the low-income housing tax credit to incentivize affordable and transit-oriented development and development in certain difficult development areas, and for other purposes” was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Kaiali'i Kahele with Ed Case as cosponsor.
The Ways and Means Committee moves forward in some way on two bills 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.
