FLOOR SCHEDULE UPDATE FOR THE WEEK OF MAY 6, 2019
FLOOR UPDATE:
"On Monday, no votes are expected in the House.
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, with votes expected no later than 3:00 p.m.
The House 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. 986, Protecting Americans with Preexisting Conditions Act of 2019. On October 22, 2018, the Trump Adminitration continued the Republican assault on affordable, quality health coverage by issuing new guidance to carry out Section 1332 of the Affordable Care Act. That new guidance undermines patient protections and threatens coverage for Americans with pre-existing conditions. H.R. 986 blocks implementation of that guidance to preserve pre-existing condition protections and ensure that health care remains affordable and comprehensive.
In addition, the House will consider H.R. 2157, Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2019. The legislation would provide relief and recovery assistance for Americans affected by recent natural disasters. It includes an additional $3 billion to address urgent needs following flooding in the Midwest and tornadoes in the South that have occurred since the House passed its first disaster bill in January, which has languished in the Senate. Lastly, the bill includes an extension of the Flood insurance program until September 30, 2019."
