Bill H.R.8803 titled “To provide for the long-term improvement of minority-serving institutions, and for other purposes” was referred to the House Committee on Education and Labor by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Alma Adams.
Bill H.Res.1344 titled “Supporting the idea of celebrating the 50th year of the Walnut Valley Festival”. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Ron Estes.
The Education and Labor 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.
