What happened to HR254?

Answer 1

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.
