The Week Ahead

By Sunlight Foundation & Participatory Politics Foundation

It’s August recess, but the House will be back in session for a few hours this week to vote on a bill that the Senate passed last week to help retain teaching jobs and around the country help states afford Medicaid. The bill, known at the “”../../bill/111-h1586/show">Education Jobs and Medicaid Assistance Act," is scheduled to be voted on Tuesday.

Here’s the official House schedule for the week:

MONDAY, AUGUST 9, 2010

On Monday, the House will meet at 7:00 p.m. in pro forma session. No votes are expected in the House.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 10, 2010

On Tuesday, the House will meet at 10:00 a.m. for legislative business.

Senate Amendment to H.R. 1586 - Education Jobs and Medicaid Assistance Act (Reps. Obey/Levin/Waxman – Appropriations/Ways and Means/Energy and Commerce) (Subject to a Rule)

This hsould pass easily throuh the House on Tuesday, and it’s expected to be signed into law by President Obama later in the week. The Senate will be out of session all week and isn’t scheduled to return to consider legislation until September 13th.
