Continuing Resolution: House GOP leaders are considering bringing to the floor this week a stopgap funding bill to extend current spending levels through late November or early December. The measure would be "clean," according to the sources, without partisan policy riders or an extension of the enhanced health insurance tax credits that expire at the end of the year. A shorter CR would also mean another opportunity for supporters to attach a Medicaid subsidy extension to a must-pass vehicle before they expire after Dec. 31.
D.C. Bills: The House is set to take up several bills dealing with Washington D.C. that would limit the authority of the District of Columbia (DCgovernment over its criminal sentencing laws (H.R.4922), allow D.C. law enforcement officers and their supervisors greater discretion to engage in vehicular pursuits when apprehending suspects in motor vehicles (H.R.5143), and eliminate the D.C. Judicial Nomination Commission and give the U.S. President the sole authority to nominate judges for the D.C. Courts (H.R.5125).
Energy Bills: The House looks to consider several energy measures that would reestablish the National Coal Council (H.R. 3015), modify the approval process for cross-border energy projects (H.R. 2883), and prioritize power plants’ connection to the electric grid (H.R. 1047).
