From Daniel:

The House Oversight Committee will hold a markup on legislation on Monday.

The first bill, identified below, will roll up a bunch of bills into a mini-omnibus. I've identified the identical/ similar bills underneath. There will also be the reintroduction of 4 other bills that existed in prior congresses, one with a slightly different name.

IG Independence and Empowerment Act (H.R. 2662, 117th))

Will contain a number of bills from last Congress:

• Inspector General Independence Act (H.R. 6984, 116th)
