Sept. 2: bills handled by Agriculture Committee

The Agriculture Committee handled H.Res.1329 bill on Sept. 2, according to the US Congress.

Bill H.Res.1329 titled “Recognizing the need for greater access to rural and agricultural media programming”. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Bill Posey with Darren Soto as cosponsor.

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.
