I think, though, they're going to come back to a, a lot of legislation that's got to be taken care of.

Indeed.

So in the, in the wake of the upcoming midterms, they're coming back to a stacked agenda during the lame duck session, um, and they'll only have 24 legislative days remaining, or so, you know, as scheduled now on their respective House and Senate calendars, uh, in the 119th Congress, and they've got a complete, uh, a spending bill, um, that we've discussed before.

They punted on that until December 11th.

They've got to complete a, a farm bill reauthorization.

That's every five years.

That's a big deal.

Mm-hmm

Any updates for us?

Well, indeed.

Um, uh, notwithstanding the fact that, uh, lawmakers are out of town, which, uh, as we discussed on many prior calls, is, alas, par for the course.

I mean, uh, they're only in session for about 40% of the workdays of the year.

Um, but notwithstanding their being out of town, uh, there has been some news.

And sort of the lead legislative item, and this came out of nowhere, was, uh, the Sunshine Protection Act, and this passed in the House of Representatives in July, um, by a large majority of 308 to 117 was the vote.

And this bill would end the daylight savings time spring forward that most states do, um, and regularize the clocks over the course of the year.

What are your thoughts and comments?
