Committee to consider GPO modernization, records advisory committee sunset and USCP drone authority bills
Summary
The committee will take up three bills addressing legislative-branch operations: H.R. 9342 (GPO Modernization Act) from Rep. Stephanie Bice to update the Government Publishing Office for the digital age; H.R. 9360 (Advisory Committee on Records of Congress Sunset Act) from Rep. Mary Miller to eliminate an advisory committee and simplify records review; and H.R. 3334 (U.S. Capitol Police Empowerment Act of 2025) from Rep. Eli Crane to expand USCP authority against unauthorized drones.
The committee chair said the panel would consider three bills aimed at modernizing parts of legislative-branch operations. The first, H.R. 9342, the GPO Modernization Act (sponsored by Representative Stephanie Bice), would update current law so the Government Publishing Office can better serve Congress and the public in the digital age.
The chair next identified H.R. 9360, the Advisory Committee on Records of Congress Sunset Act, offered by Representative Mary Miller of Illinois, which would eliminate an existing advisory committee and replace it with a simpler process for reviewing congressional records. Finally, the chair introduced H.R. 3334, the U.S. Capitol Police Empowerment Act of 2025 (offered by Representative Eli Crane of Arizona). The chair said that bill "gives the United States Capitol Police the authority they need to respond to unauthorized drones that threaten" the Capitol; the transcript cuts off during that description.
The transcript records the bills' sponsors and broad goals but does not include detailed text, witness testimony, debate, or votes in the provided excerpt.
