The bill now proceeds to the United States Senate. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer Democrat from New York will likely also skip the committee process and tried to bring it to the Senate floor for a vote. Following the example of Nancy Pelosi, he may try to change the rules or even ignore them. However, there is the filibuster to stop this bill from getting to the desk of President Biden. Biden has promised to sign the bill into law.
