House Republicans have made significant amendments to their party-line tax and spending package to align with Senate regulations, securing a more streamlined path through the legislative process.
Key Amendments for Senate Compliance
An early draft of the amendment, recently obtained by POLITICO, highlights changes to biofuel policies and other key provisions. By addressing concerns raised by the Senate parliamentarian, the bill maintains its ‘privileged’ status, allowing it to bypass potential filibusters in the Senate.
Approval Process and Timeline
House GOP leaders are set to ratify these adjustments in the Rules Committee later today, with a formal adoption scheduled for tomorrow on the House floor, as confirmed by House Majority Leader Steve Scalise.
These modifications underscore the party’s commitment to navigating the intricate legislative landscape while upholding their policy objectives.
