Senate Committee Approves FY24 Labor, HHS, and Education Appropriations Bill

Press Release

"I'm proud that in my first year as the top Republican on the Labor-HHS Appropriations Subcommittee, we have crafted an effective, responsible bill. I'm also proud that this is the first time in five years that we have marked up a Labor-HHS bill in this subcommittee. This bill maintains provisions critical to the departments overseen by the subcommittee, and does not include controversial policies that have derailed similar legislation in the past. Addressing the health, education, and labor needs of our country should not be partisan, and I believe this effort reflects that. When I became Ranking Member of this subcommittee, I vowed to continue my efforts on priorities that are important to West Virginia -- like pursuing cures to diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer, attacking the addiction crisis, and supporting our health and education institutions. This bill reflects these very same priorities."
