[New information bolded and italicized]Congress returns from its weeklong recess this week. The House plans to take up four fiscal year (FY) 2025 appropriations bills:
As a reminder, the House failed to pass the FY 2025 Legislative Branch appropriations legislation on July 11, generally one of the least controversial. It remains unclear whether the House will be successful advancing the four bills slated for this week. The Senate has scheduled votes on a number of nominations this week. It is uncertain whether amendments to the FY 2025 National Defense Authorization Act will be considered on the Senate floor and if so, when. In the meantime, Senate appropriators are expected to mark up four bills on Thursday covering Commerce-Justice-Science, Interior-Environment, State-Foreign Operations and Transportation-HUD funding.
