House Committees are considering their respective portions of the latest $1.9 trillion COVID-19 response package this week. On Wednesday morning the House Education and Labor Committee advanced their portion of the package, amounting to $357 billion, including $39.6 billion for colleges and universities. The House Budget Committee is expected to take up the package next week and it is expected to be on the House floor the week after that. The Senate has yet to consider the package.

Today, the Senate HELP Committee advanced the nominations of Education Secretary-Designate Miguel Cardona and Labor Secretary-Designate Marty Walsh. It is expected that their nominations will be taken up on the Senate floor expeditiously.
