Congress votes on tobacco and budget bills this week
The House on April 2 passed HR 1256 authorizing FDA regulation of tobacco, with preemption of some state laws and tribal compliance, while a second measure defeated an alternative that would promote harm reduction. Other votes covered executive pay limits for large bailouts, and multiple budget plans. A mix of Democratic and Republican positions shaped the week’s roll call.
