On March 9th, the House passed H.R. 2471, an approximately $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill consisting of all 12 fiscal year 2022 appropriations bills plus supplemental funding of $14 billion to support Ukraine and other measures. The legislation passed in two pieces with two votes, each of which had bipartisan support. The Senate is expected to act and pass the bill before week’s end. Most importantly for TEA members, the bill includes some wins for employee ownership.
