Table of Contents
The House Committee on Energy and Commerce has ordered the ALERT Communities Act to be reported. This means a committee has voted to move the bill forward to the full House of Representatives for a potential vote. The vote was 48-0.
Why it matters: This is an early step in the legislative process. While the committee vote shows bipartisan support, the bill still has to pass both chambers of Congress and be signed by the President before any changes actually occur.
