The U.S. House of Representatives is bracing for another party-based clash over the funding of the government for the fiscal year (FY) 2024.
Legislators have until Wednesday to propose amendments to the fiscal 2024 Ag appropriations bill, which could lead to test votes on farm bill matters. The measure could begin debate next week.
The House Appropriations Committee is set to debate the FY 2024 Interior-Environment spending bill this week. It proposes significant funding cuts to the EPA and restrictions concerning regulatory changes on pesticides and motor vehicles. The measure has riders that would repeal the Biden administration’s Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) rule and prevent EPA from approving pesticide labels that differ from conclusions made under a specific review.

The House will also debate a Federal Aviation Administration authorization bill this week, which may result in votes concerning the future of sustainable aviation fuel.
