The House and Senate will reach new — and drastically different — milestones in their respective appropriations journeys this week.
While the House Appropriations Committee will look to mark up its final six fiscal 2025 spending bills — including the Interior-Environment and Energy-Water measures — and pass its fifth spending bill on the floor, Senate appropriators will embark on their very first fiscal 2025 markup.
The Senate Appropriations Committee will kick-start its spending debates with three of its least controversial bills: Agriculture, Legislative Branch and Military Construction-Veterans Affairs.
The House will try to pass its own Legislative Branch bill on the floor this week after a Rules Committee hearing Monday afternoon. House appropriators will also approve updated top-line funding levels for some spending bills.
