1. The Week in one Paragraph
Congress operated primarily in pro forma sessions this week, with both the House and Senate meeting briefly and conducting no floor votes. Despite the lack of legislative activity on the floor, the House was active behind the scenes, with 15 new bills introduced and several committee reports filed regarding fraud prevention in child care programs. The week served as a quiet bridge before a heavy committee schedule and nomination votes slated for mid-April.
2. Bills Passed / Signed into law
No bills have been passed into law this week.
3. Notable Votes
Based on the legislative records for the week of March 30, 2026, there were no significant roll call votes conducted in either the House of Representatives or the Senate.
Both chambers operated primarily in pro forma sessions or moved measures via voice vote and unanimous consent
Why This Matters
The lack of roll call votes indicates that the business conducted this week was either non-controversial enough to pass by voice vote or was part of a scheduled period of "pro forma" activity where no legislative business is expected.
