News: Now that the government is funded through September, House Republicans are moving onto a slew of other bills over the next month, including overturning some Biden administration regulations.
The House is out this week. But when the chamber returns next week, Republican leaders will take up a number of bills.
March 24 week. The Deterrent Act, introduced by Rep. Michael Baumgartner (R-Wash.) will get consideration. This legislation is aimed at tightening the disclosure requirements for U.S. colleges and universities that get money from foreign governments. A similar bill passed the House last Congress. Thirty-one Democrats voted for that bill.
H.J. Res 24, sponsored by Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-Okla.), will be on the floor. This resolution attempts to overturn a Biden administration energy regulation for walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers.
H.J. Res 75, offered by freshman Rep. Craig Goldman (R-Texas), will also be considered. This resolution seeks to overturn energy conservation regulations for commercial refrigerators and freezers.
March 31 week. During the last week of March, the House will once again take up the SAVE Act. This is Rep. Chip Roy’s (R-Texas) bill. You may remember, the SAVE Act requires voters to prove American citizenship when voting. This legislation passed in the 118th Congress. Reps. Jared Golden (D-Maine), Don Davis (D-N.C.), Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.) are the ones to watch on this bill.
April 7 week. The House Republican leadership thinks that they may be able to consider a House-Senate budget resolution for reconciliation this week. Consider us skeptical, of course. But we will see if GOP congressional leaders make progress over the next few weeks. There could be additional Congressional Review Act resolutions on the floor this week.
