House Schedule for Thursday, June 24
The House will meet today to vote on four bills. Those bills are S.J Res. 15, H.R. 1443, H.R 239, and S.J Res. 13. Here is a brief breakdown of the four bills.
S.J Res. 15 — The bill would repeal a “true lender” rule that was adopted under the Trump administration. According to Bloomberg Law, the rule “treats banks as the true lenders if they fund the loan or are named as a lender in the loan agreement”. The resolution passed the Senate on a 52–47 vote, with all Democrats and Republican Senators Susan Collins (ME) and Marco Rubio (FL) voting in favor of overturning the rule.
H.R. 1443 — Titled the “LGBTQ Business Equal Credit Enforcement and Investment Act”, the bill would require financial institutions to report credit application data regarding businesses that are majority-LGBTQ owned.
H.R. 239 — Titled the “Equal Access to Contraception for Veterans Act”, the bill would prohibit the VA from requiring veterans to pay for contraception that current law requires to be covered by health insurance plans without a cost-sharing requirement.
S.J. Res. 13 — The bill would overturn a Trump administration rule that gives employers more info during the conciliation process. According to Bloomberg Law, the rule was supported by employers wanting more transparency, but drew criticism from workers rights groups that argued that businesses would get an unfair advantage in negotiations.
The White House supports the passage of all four bills. The House will be in session again tomorrow, with the last votes scheduled at 3pm, according to Majority Leader Hoyer’s calendar.
