This afternoon and tomorrow the House Rules Committee will hold hearing on the rule to consider HR 2740, the first FY 2020 spending minibus.

HR 2500 – FY 2020 NDAA

With the subcommittee work finally finishing up last week, the full House Armed Services Committee is set to take up HR 2500, the FY2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Wednesday. We should see a report and final version of the bill this week.

On the Floor

This afternoon the House will take up seven homeland security related bills under the suspension of the rules process. This will include HR 1158 – DHS Cyber Incident Response Teams Act of 2019. This bill is expected to receive strong bipartisan support; it will certainly pass.
