US: GOP Study Ctte To Meet Wedenesday To Discuss Second Big Beautiful Bill

Aug-05 13:39

The House Republican Study Committee will host GOP staff on Wednesday for a discussion on crafting a second megabill, according to an invite seen by Politico. 

  • Politico notes: “The briefing will be held in-person, and aides will hear from leaders of the Economic Policy Innovation Center, a conservative think tank, including executive vice president Brittany Madni, director of budget policy Matthew Dickerson and senior analyst in fiscal policy David Ditch.”
  • RSC Chairman August Pfluger (R-TX), told Fox News last month: "We must capitalize on the momentum we’ve generated in the first 6 months of a Republican trifecta in Washington. To fulfill the promises we made to the American people, conservatives must begin laying the groundwork for the second reconciliation bill to ensure we continue to drive down the cost of living and restore America’s promise for future generations."
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said last month: "...the big beautiful bill was the first big step in that. But we have multiple steps ahead of us. We have long planned for at least two, possibly three, reconciliation bills, one in the fall and one next spring."
  • A maximum of three reconciliation bills are permitted per fiscal year, per Senate rules. Considering the likelihood of Democrats winning the House in the 2026 midterms, Republicans are likely to pursue one additional reconciliation package on a similar timeline to the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill'.
