Bill H.R.8748 titled “To prohibit funding for the World Economic Forum” was referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Scott Perry with Lauren Boebert, Thomas Tiffany as cosponsors.
The Foreign Affairs 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.
