Oversight and Reform Committee and the bills it addressed on Sept. 19

The Oversight and Reform Committee handled H.Res.1366 bill on Sept. 19, according to the US Congress.

Bill H.Res.1366 titled “Expressing support for the designation of October 8, 2022, as National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day”. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Jim Costa with Brian Fitzpatrick, John Larson as cosponsors.

The Oversight and Reform 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.
