FLOOR SCHEDULE UPDATE FOR THE WEEK OF JULY 22, 2019
FLOOR UPDATE:
"On Tuesday, the House will meet at 12:00 p.m. for Morning Hour debate and 2:00 p.m. for legislative business, with votes postponed until 6:30 p.m.
On Wednesday and Thursday, the House will meet at 10:00 a.m. for Morning Hour debate and 12:00 p.m. for legislative business.
On Friday, the House will meet at 9:00 a.m. for legislative business. Last votes of the week are expected no later than 3:00 p.m.
We will consider several bills under Suspension of the Rules. The complete list of suspension bills will be announced by the close of business tomorrow.
The House will also consider H.R. 397, the Rehabilitation for Multiemployer Pensions Act, commonly referred to as the Butch Lewis Act. The 10 million Americans who have paid into multi-employer pensions deserve to know they will receive the benefits they’ve earned when they retire. This bill will help ensure a secure retirement for these workers and retirees.
In addition, the House will consider H.R. 2203, the Homeland Security Improvement Act. This legislation, introduced by Congresswoman Escobar, will ensure that the Department of Homeland Security addresses border issues in a responsible and humane manner. The bill fosters greater accountability when it comes to the handling of children and migrant families at all levels within DHS. The House is also expected to consider additional legislation related to the current humanitarian crisis on the southern border.
Members are advised that additional legislative items are expected. It is my sincere hope that an agreement is reached to raise budget caps and the debt limit so that the House can consider legislation next week that removes both of these drivers of economic uncertainty."
