In a recent letter, nine U.S. senators from Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and one from Wisconsin, joined together in a bipartisan request for a hearing by the Senate Finance Committee.
The request is to Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Mike Crapo (R-ID), the Democratic chair, and ranking Republican member, of the Senate Finance Committee. The nine senators ask that the Committee hold a hearing on the Susan Muffley Act of 2023 (S.2277).
This is a positive step because some Senate leaders believe that "regular order" should be applied to The Susan Muffley Act. This term is defined as semi-strict or strict application of committee and subcommittee processes, including public hearing opportunities and the holding of multiple votes.
