How can I find out what the House and Senate are debating on the floor currently, and
what legislation they plan on taking up in the near future? Plantation, Florida Where can you read copies of bills and amendments? Hartford, Connecticut - 9/7/00
You can locate the House and Senate floor schedules by visiting the following official chamber
and party leadership sites. In both chambers, it is the majority leadership which has the primary
responsibility for setting the legislative agenda:
HOUSE FLOOR SCHEDULE
Daily Schedule

Monthly Schedule
Annual Schedule
SENATE FLOOR SCHEDULE

To review copies of the actual legislation, see the "bill text" feature on the THOMAS website, a complete record of legislative information maintained by the Library of Congress on behalf of the House and Senate.
As legislation moves through the legislative process, its text is almost always changed from the way it read upon introduction. THOMAS will offer you different versions of a bill to review. It is best to select the latest version of a bill, rather than the text as originally introduced.
