H.R. 8121 · House bill Public Lands and Natural Resources

A Democratic bill with no cosponsors

Last activity — Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

In the other chamber's committee

Passed one chamber and has been handed to a committee in the other.

The committee decides whether it goes any further, and most bills that reach a committee never leave it. A committee that simply does nothing kills a bill without anyone ever voting against it, so no news from here is usually the news.

Its path through Congress
