Future of NRA Split Congress Looks to Supreme Court
Washington May 4 congressional readers split over the NRA future as they await a Supreme Court decision on constitutionality. A ruling before summer could delay final action on NRA extension, with Senate plans to take up the measure and House hearings not yet begun. Supporters and opponents expect the court to influence whether wage and hour codes stay, and some urge a two year extension or statutory fixes if the high court blocks delegation of code authority to the president.
