Review – Bills Introduced – 2-5-25

Yesterday, with both the House and Senate in session, there were 73 bills introduced. Actually, there were 117 bills introduced, but the 44 bills introduced in the Senate (according to the Congressional Record) were not reported by the Congress.gov website because of the all-night session held in the Senate. Of the 73 bills introduced in the House four will probably receive additional coverage in this newsletter:
