MOST RECENT UPDATES:

UPDATE 4/7: House conference committee members have been named. An unofficial Senate list has also been released. See the list at https://usark.org/laceycomm/

UPDATE 3/29: A top priority on Capitol Hill is to pass the Bipartisan Innovation Act (this is the current name for the bill that will merge HR4521 and S1260). The primary goal of this bill is to boost high-tech research and chip manufacturing in the United States. Since the House and Senate passed different versions, the two versions must now be merged (reconciled). The process to conduct a formal reconciliation finally started Monday evening with a move from the Senate that replaced the text of HR4521 with the text of S1260 and sent it back to the House. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said the House should vote this week against the bill from the Senate. This downvote will trigger the formation of a conference committee with members from both chambers. That committee will reconcile HR4521 and S1260 to produce a final bill. Following a vote to begin a formal conference negotiation process, Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell must define the structure of the committee talks.

UPDATE 3/28: Following a roll call to limit debate on the measure (cloture), the Senate voted 68-28 to send its version (text from S1260) of this bill back to the House. Next, the House will reject this bill. This was the process needed to set up a cross-chamber conference committee to settle on the final language for the bill (reconciliation of the two bills).

UPDATE 3/24: As we have reported for nearly two months, the America COMPETES Act text will be swapped with the language from the Senate version (U.S. Innovation and Competition Act, or USICA). This should occur on March 28. USICA does not contain the Lacey Act amendments of concern. The bill will then be sent back to the House. Following this action, a committee of Senators and Representatives will form to reconcile the two bills. We must keep voicing opposition to keep the Lacey Act amendments from making it back into this bill.
