Tuesday: Energy, Labor rule
The House will debate a package of energy bills Tuesday, including starting discussions on its energy and water appropriations legislation.
House lawmakers are scheduled to take up a bill to reform the Toxic Substance Control Act after decades of complaints that it is ineffective.
{mosads}The legislation would also allow the Environmental Protection Agency new oversight for thousands of potentially harmful chemicals. House Democratic leaders signaled their support for the legislation Monday, smoothing its path to final passage.
The House is also expected to start debate on an energy and water appropriations bill Tuesday and take a postponed vote on a separate Intelligence Authorization Act.
Votes in the House are expected between 2:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Meanwhile, the Senate is expected to take up a resolution repealing a Labor Department rule on retirement savings.
The resolution passed the House earlier this year, despite staunch opposition from Democrats and a veto threat from the White House.
Votes in the Senate are expected but currently not scheduled. Senators will also recess from 12:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. for weekly policy lunches.
