Bill H.R.8769 titled “IRS Reduction Act” was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Jefferson Van Drew with Brian Babin, Don Bacon, Mike Carey, Earl Carter, Byron Donalds, Brad Finstad, Russ Fulcher, Louie Gohmert, Paul Gosar, Michael Guest, Andy Harris, Darrell Issa, Nancy Mace, Daniel Meuser, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, John Moolenaar, Alexander Mooney, Markwayne Mullin, Ralph Norman, Maria Salazar, Christopher Smith, Randy Weber as cosponsors.
The Ways and Means 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.
