House Cloakroom: July 29 – August 2
Analysis: This week, the House will be in session for four days before members leave for August recess. The theme for the legislative week will be “Stop Government Abuse.” The House will consider a bill by Representative Todd Young (R-IN) designed to rein in growing red tape and burdens that are placed on Americans without the approval of their elected representatives. The House will likely consider a bill sponsored by Representative Tom Price (R-GA) that prevents the IRS from enforcing or implementing any component of Obamacare. Finally, a $44.1 billion appropriations bill could be on the floor. Previously, Heritage identified $30 billion in additional cuts to the bill.
Major Floor Action:
- H.R. 2610 – Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2014
- H.R. 367 – Regulations From the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 2013 (bill that would require Congress to approve all new major regulations)
- H.R. 2009 – Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act of 2013 (prevents IRS implementation of Obamacare)
- H.R. 1582 – the Energy Consumers Relief Act
- H.R. 1911 – Smarter Solutions for Students Act, agreeing with the Senate amendment.
