Committee Hearings – Week of 3-6-22

This week, with both the House and Senate in session, there are no hearings scheduled of particular interest here. There will be some legislative activity of interest, two DHS related bills and some sort of FY 2022 spending bill.

The House is currently scheduled to take up six bills under their suspension of the rules process this week. These include:

HR 5616 – DHS Basic Training Accreditation Improvement Act of 2021, as amended, and

S 658 – National Cybersecurity Preparedness Consortium Act of 2021, as amended

The deadline for passing the FY 2022 (which we are almost half-way through) spending bill is Friday. There are still a number of stumbling blocks holding up an agreement in the Senate on the provisions to be included in the bill. We may see yet another ‘short term’ continuing resolution.
