How politicians on Agriculture Committee dealt with bills on Aug. 3

The Agriculture Committee handled H.Res.1213 bill on Aug. 3, according to the US Congress.

Bill H.Res.1213 titled “Expressing support for the designation of July 2022 as American Grown Flower and Foliage Month”. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Salud Carbajal.

The Agriculture 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.
