Establishing the Task Force on the Legislative Process.

This measure creates a temporary, bipartisan group from both the House and Senate to study how Congress can move faster on bills that already passed one chamber with strong support from both parties. The group must share ideas to speed things up and make a final set of recommendations within one year. The report must be made public. Once the report is submitted, the group ends.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Congress and, indirectly, the public who may see faster action on widely supported bills.
• What changes: A short-term task force studies and recommends ways to speed up consideration of broadly supported bills; its final report must be public.
• When: The final report is due within one year of the measure’s passage; the task force ends when it submits the report.
