How politicians on Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee dealt with bills on Sept. 20

The Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee handled S.Res.786 bill on Sept. 20, according to the US Congress.

Bill S.Res.786 titled “A resolution recognizing the history of women's professional baseball in Indiana”. The bill is sponsored by Sen. Mike Braun.

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.
