House Republican leaders are eyeing votes on a number of big measures, including a GOP-only budget reconciliation bill and a stock trading ban next week, the last week in session before the chamber is scheduled to depart for August recess.

On the working agenda right now, according to GOP leadership sources, is a House vote approving the budget blueprint for the reconciliation 3.0 package, a second try at approving the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a stopgap funding measure to fund the government past Sept. 30 and a bill to restrict stock trading by members.

The schedule is still in flux, not final and could change depending on political dynamics and the feasibility of pushing through all the legislation.

Instructions for the reconciliation 3.0 effort advanced in the House Budget Committee on Thursday, outlining $73 billion for defense and intelligence funding; $12 billion for agriculture aid; and $10 billion for a program to encourage states to adopt voter ID and proof-of-citizenship voter registration requirements in the vein of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act — none of which is offset in spending. The special budget reconciliation process bypasses the Senate’s 60-vote rule, meaning Republicans can advance it without needing help from Democrats.
