Like the House, The Senate Appropriations Committee has announced will hold full committee markups of the Energy-Water and Military Construction-VA appropriations bills on Thursday, April 14. At that meeting, the committee will also disclose discretionary spending levels for individual subcommittees, known as 302(b)s.
The Senate has yet to pass its FY 2017 Budget, but Majority Leader McConnell (R-KY) has previously announced the Senate’s intention to hold to the budget agreement made last year, and move forward with a deeming motion allowing the FY 2017 appropriations process to move forward.
