All eyes are on the annual appropriations and National Defense Authorization Act process that is gearing up for President Biden’s FY2024 budget request to be unveiled on March 9. Along side the September 30 deadline to complete appropriations bills as the new fiscal year commences on October 1, there are expiring authorizations. For example, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the farm bills all need to be crafted and passed over the next seven months. Congress also wants to push through bipartisan legislation on kids’ online privacy, energy permitting, marijuana banking, more fentanyl and opioid support, among other issues. G2G has been on the Hill and at events with Members of Congress as things are back to normal in this “post-COVID” world.
