Petitions and Memorials (Cong. Rec., Dec. 17, 2020)
Summary
Page S7589 of the Senate section of the Congressional Record for December 17, 2020, headed Petitions and Memorials, in interleaved columns. EC-6163 is a Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection rule on earned wage access programs. A memorial adopted by the Legislature of the State of Louisiana, POM-266, urges Congress to fund the Livestock Indemnity Program after losses from Hurricane Laura and Hurricane Delta and recalls the economic harm of pandemic public health measures. A bill, S. 5041, would establish an advisory committee on climate risk for the Financial Stability Oversight Council.
