End of Session Housekeeping – 118th Congress – 12-22-24

With the end of the 118th Congress fast approaching, nothing but pro forma sessions until they adjourn sine die on January 3^rd, it is time to catch up on legislation files that are dying with the sessions end. Committees are busy publishing reports that no one will read and the GPO is catching up on publishing bills that will have no effect. Instead of trying to complete writeups on each of these housekeeping items, I am simply going to provide a list of each of the bills that I would normally expect to cover in this blog with the appropriate links. If anyone wants me to cover one of these bills in detail in my blog, just drop me a comment on this post; I will see if I can work them into the schedule.
