Bice Supports Budget Reconciliation Bill

Washington, D.C.- Today, the U.S. House of Representatives took the first step in passing their third reconciliation bill of the 119th Congress. This concurrent resolution instructs three committees: the Committee on House Administration, the Armed Services Committee, and the Agriculture Committee to draft legislative text to secure America's elections and support our troops and farmers. Congresswoman Bice serves on the House Administration Committee and has supported voter ID and the Save Act both in committee and on the House floor. Reconciliation bills only require a simple majority in the Senate.

Congresswoman Bice issued the following statement:

"Strengthening our military, securing our elections, and supporting our farmers are all essential in keeping America safe, secure, and prosperous. This budget resolution takes the first step in ensuring that our troops have the munitions they need to protect themselves and our homeland. Importantly, it also mimics my legislation, the STEADFAST Act, which contains budgetary mechanisms to help secure our elections, in line with the SAVE Act. This is a critical step in the process, and I was proud to support it."
