Bills Introduced – 10-25-21

Yesterday, with both the House and Senate in Washington, there were 28 bills introduced. Two of those bills will receive additional coverage in this blog:

S 3058 A bill making appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, and for other purposes. Sen. Murphy, Christopher [D-CT]

S 3062 A bill making appropriations for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, and for other purposes. Sen. Murray, Patty [D-WA]

Again, neither of these spending bills will be seen on the floor of the Senate. FY 2022 spending has been punted to December 3^rd and will almost certainly take the form of an omnibus spending bill or two. The important part of these two bills will the reports from the Senate Appropriations Committee which provide spending and program directives to the affected agencies that have just short of the power of law.
