Bill H.J.Res.91 titled “Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Council on Environmental Quality relating to National Environmental Policy Act Implementing Regulations Revisions” was referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Garret Graves with Sam Graves, Kevin Mccarthy, Dan Newhouse, Cathy Rodgers, Steve Scalise, Elise Stefanik, Bruce Westerman as cosponsors.
The Natural Resources Committee moves forward in some way on one bill 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.
