Probably you should ask your congressman.
It was the 783rd bill introduced into the House of Representatives in some session of congress
to fkn long.. pass hr 2366 already
The number of the bill has the initials HR (House Resolution), indicating that it originated in the House of Representatives.
HR 254 in the current (112th) Congress is the Sewage Sludge in Food Production Consumer Notification Act They start the numbers all over again with each new Congress, so you may be talking about a different HR 254. This bill was introduced in January by Jose Serrano, Congressman for NY-16, which is the Bronx. Serrano doesn't intend to try to get the bill passed, or else there would be co-sponsors. It appears he's going through the motions so he has something to talk about on the campaign trail. In March, the house leadership referred it to the House Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry, where the bill will die a slow, quiet death.
The most recent HR-2847 to become law was the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act, which was signed on 19 March 2010 and is now Public Law 111-147. Regarding the HR-2847 of the current Congress, the Wounded Warrior Service Dog Act of 2013, there has been no action since it was sent to the Subcommittee on Readiness on 29 August 2013.
