Friday, under the shadow of the election of the Speaker of the House, there were 233 bills introduced in the House and Senate. Two of those bills will receive additional coverage in this blog:
HR
108 To allow the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration to establish a research center for deep space and interplanetary
research, and for other purposes. Biggs,
Andy [Rep.-R-AZ-5]
HR 128 To require the Assistant Secretary for the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office of the Department of Homeland Security to treat illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, and for other purposes. Boebert, Lauren [Rep.-R-CO-4]
NOTE 1: Eighty of the 214 bills introduced in the House were introduced by Rep Biggs (R, AZ). This is not really surprising, because he introduced 720 bills in the 118th Congress. Only five of those bills passed in the House, and one ended up being vetoed by President Biden (the House was unable to override that veto). Biggs is a prolific crafter of partisan legislation, but lacks the influence to see these bills become law.
NOTE 2: I am going to try to track space related bills in earnest this
session under my #SpaceGeek tag.
