Why It Matters

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will meet for a markup on July 22 to consider legislation affecting federal employee benefits, inspector general oversight, rulemaking procedures and District of Columbia policy.

According to the hearing notice, committee members will consider measures addressing pharmacist reimbursement in federal employee health plans, inspector general authority, public comment procedures and D.C.-related policy before deciding whether the bills advance to the full House.

The Bills on the Docket

The committee is scheduled to consider five principal bills. H.R. 6610, the Pharmacists Fight Back in Federal Employee Health Benefit Plans Act, would modify how Federal Employees Health Benefits plans reimburse pharmacists.

H.R. 9720, the D.C. Taxing Authority Review Act, addresses the District of Columbia's taxing authority. H.R. 9725, the Restoring Integrity and Efficiency to Inspector General Oversight Act of 2025, would revise the authorities and procedures governing inspectors general across federal agencies.

H.R. 9643, the Comment Integrity and Management Act, would establish requirements for how federal agencies manage public comments submitted during the rulemaking process. H.R. 9741 would rename the District of Columbia Tuition Assistance Grant Program in honor of Eleanor Holmes Norton. The committee is also scheduled to consider several postal naming measures.

What Happens Next

Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) chairs the committee, and Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) serves as ranking member. During the markup, committee members may debate, amend and vote on each measure before deciding whether to report the legislation to the full House.

The agenda spans federal employee benefits, government oversight, administrative rulemaking, District of Columbia governance and postal facility designations. The committee's actions will determine which measures advance to the House floor.
