House Reconciliation Package Now Headed to Budget Committee
With the Reform and Oversight Committee wrapping up its markup late Friday, the nine committees scheduled to act on pieces of the larger budget reconciliation measure concluded their work, sending the individual components to the Budget Committee for the next step in the process, which is to craft a much more comprehensive $1.9-trillion package.
The following committees marked up measures under jurisdiction: Agriculture, Education and Labor, Energy and Commerce, Financial Services, Oversight and Reform, Small Business, Transportation and Infrastructure, Veterans’ Affairs, and Ways and Means. Among the committees which received reconciliation instructions but did not hold a markup was the House Science Committee.
