Bills Introduced – 7-15-21

Yesterday with just the Senate in session, there were 33 bills introduced. Two of those bills will receive additional coverage in this blog:

HR 4431 Making appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, and for other purposes. Rep. Roybal-Allard, Lucille [D-CA-40]

HR 4432 Making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, and for other purposes. Rep. McCollum, Betty [D-MN-4]

Both of these bills are being reported by the House Appropriations Committee. The text of the bills is already available, but we are waiting on the actual publication of the Committee Report for each bill. While the bills do provide spending totals and limited guidance (at this point, the floor amendment process will change that) most of the meat of committee requirements will be found in the Committee Report for each bill.

That being the case, I will hold off on conducting my reviews until the Committee Reports are actually published by the GPO in the next day or two.
