FROM CONGRESSMAN HARRIS:
"I wanted to pass along my update on the important work we are doing in Washington to stand up for commonsense, conservative policies across the Country and to serve my constituents in Maryland's First Congressional District."
Important Legislation:
Last week, the House of Representatives debated a variety of issues ranging from prison reform to financial service regulations, to prohibiting illegal migrants from voting in D.C. elections. Below is a summary of several key pieces of legislation we passed in the People's House.
H.R. 3019; Federal Prison Oversight Act - Passed
In an overwhelming bipartisan show of support, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3019-The Federal Prison Oversight Act. This bill would require the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) to conduct risk-based assessments of Bureau of Prisons (BOP) correctional facilities. These assessments would include requirements to visit facilities with higher risk scores and to evaluate safety conditions for staff and inmates. I voted in favor of this bill and hope the Senate quickly passes this important prison reform legislation.
H.R. 4763; Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) - Passed
With digital assets becoming more popular, it is important that clear regulations exist to understand the government's role in regulating cryptocurrency. The Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) provides the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) with new jurisdiction over digital commodities and clarifies the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) jurisdiction over digital assets.
H.R. 5863; Federal Disaster Tax Relief Act - Passed
You may be interested to know I voted in favor of H.R. 5863; the Federal Disaster Relief Act. H.R. 5863 designates federally declared disasters for the purposes of determining the tax treatment of certain disaster-related personal casualty losses. The legislation would also eliminate the current law requirement that taxpayers must itemize deductions to access this tax relief.
It is simple: non-citizens should not vote in U.S. elections.
Last week, the House of Representatives voted to reject the Washington, D.C. Council's resolution allowing noncitizens to vote. Unsurprisingly, many Democrats, 143 to be exact, voted to allow non-citizens to vote in U.S. elections--which tells you everything you need to know about where they stand on election integrity issues.
