1. THIS WEEK AT A GLANCE
It is a quiet legislative week on Capitol Hill as both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate remain in recess. Both chambers are convening for brief pro forma sessions, so no floor votes or standard legislative business are scheduled. However, committee work continues outside of Washington with a House Ways and Means field hearing in Tennessee, while state legislatures, particularly Kentucky and Pennsylvania, are actively meeting on key economic, education, and regulatory matters.
