Huizenga Introduces The Fiscal Commission Act of 2023
Washington,
September 29, 2023
Last night, Congressman Bill Huizenga (R-MI) introduced the Fiscal Commission Act of 2023. This bipartisan fiscal commission will propose recommendations to significantly improve our nation’s medium and long-term fiscal trajectory. The Commission will consist of Members of Congress as well as individuals from the private sector. This legislation requires both the House and the Senate to finally face our national debt before the end of the 118th Congress. “The only way to get our nation’s fiscal house in order is for Congress to face reality and address the unsustainable trajectory of our national debt,” said Congressman Bill Huizenga. “For too long, Congress has kicked the can down the road and not made the decisions necessary to secure our nation’s fiscal future for the next generation of Americans. The Fiscal Commission Act of 2023 requires Congress to vote on serious proposals from this bipartisan commission that will significantly improve the financial health of our nation.” Congressman Huizenga worked across the aisle with his fellow Bipartisan Fiscal Forum Co-Chair, Congressman Scott Peters (D-CA), to push for the creation of a fiscal commission. Congressman Peters is an original cosponsor of this bipartisan bill. In addition to Congressman Peters, the Fiscal Commission Act of 2023 is cosponsored by Representatives Tom Cole (R-OK), Brad Schneider (D-IL), Victoria Spartz (R-IN), Ed Case (D-HI), William Timmons (R-SC), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), Adrian Smith (R-NE), Ami Bera (D-CA), David Schweikert (R-AZ), Jimmy Panetta (D-CA), Blake Moore (R-UT), Jared Golden (D-ME), and Cory Mills (R-FL).
