WASHINGTON — House leaders are cramming this week to finish a laundry list of legislative priorities before a five-week getaway from Washington.
Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer, D-Md., warned, though, that members may return early, likely in the last two weeks of August, if the Senate passes a reconciliation bill, sending it to the House for a vote.
Before Friday, lawmakers want to vote on a wildfire and drought package, additional fiscal 2023 spending bills, a semiconductor incentives and science research and development package known as “chips-plus” and possibly a renewed assault weapons ban.
