Winter Weather Causes Congressional Cancellations

Legislative Calendar in Flux from Winter Storm Jonas

Following severe weather in Washington this weekend, this week’s legislative calendar is in flux. As noted below, the Senate has delayed its scheduled by a day (for now) and the House has cancelled session for the week. As such, it is unclear to what extent Committee work will be impacted.

Senate Legislative Activity

Due to this weekend’s winter storm, the Senate has pushed its schedule back a day. As such, the Senate will now meet on Wednesday, January 27. At 5:30pm, the Senate is expected to take up the confirmation of Executive Calendar #306, the nomination of John Michael Vazquez, of New Jersey, to be United States District Judge for the District of New Jersey. The delay has also called into question the exact timing of the Senate’s consideration of S.2012, Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015.

House Legislative Activity

As a result of this weekend’s inclement weather, the House will not be in session this week. Next votes are scheduled for Monday, February 1 at 6:30pm, during which time Members will consider:

  • H.R. 3662, Iran Terror Finance Transparency Act; and

  • the Veto Message on H.R. 3762, Restoring Americans’ Healthcare Freedom Act

A group of in-house attorneys developed the National Law Review on-line edition to create an easy to use resource to capture legal trends and news as they first start to emerge. We were looking for a better way to organize, vet and easily retrieve all the updates that were being sent to us on a daily basis.In the process, we’ve become one of the highest volume business law websites in the U.S. Today, the National Law Review’s seasoned editors screen and classify breaking news and analysis authored by recognized legal professionals and our own journalists. There is no log in to access the database and new articles are added hourly. The National Law Review revolutionized legal publication in 1888 and this cutting-edge tradition continues today.
