Yesterday, the House began consideration of HR 5894, the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024. This is the first time in a number of years that the House has considered an LHH spending bill because of the controversies (both ways) surrounding various abortion provisions typically included in the bill.
The House took up 78 of the 146 amendments listed in Part B of H Rept 118-272. None of the amendments were of specific interest there. Fifty-one of the amendments passed yesterday. One of those amendments was an en bloc amendment incorporating 51 of amendments listed in the report. Fifteen of the amendments considered still have recorded votes pending.
The House is scheduled to
resume consideration of the bill today. There is a good chance that there will
not be a final vote on the bill because of some Republican opposition to
abortion language.
