The Week in Review
Lawmakers wrapped up the month of June with a busy week of floor activity that saw significant legislative items pass both chambers. In the House, lawmakers resumed their push to clear fiscal year (FY) 2020 spending bills, passing the second five-bill “minibus” — which includes the Agriculture, Commerce-Justice-Science (CJS), Interior-Environment, Military Construction-Veterans’ Affairs (VA) and Transportation-Housing and Urban Development (HUD) spending bills — as well as the spending measure for Financial Services and General Government (FSGG). The lower chamber also passed a bill that seeks to bolster election security through authorization of new funding for Election Assistance Commission Grants to states for securing their voting systems.
