Congress was not in session this week due to the Fourth of July recess. Congress will reconvene on Monday, July 11th.
On July 8th, however, NAHMA met with the GAO and other industry representatives to discuss the ongoing late HAPs situation. We took this opportunity to inform the GAO about the current problem with HAP funding and how late payments put even greater hardship on the properties as regulatory expectations (such as LEP requirements) increase. GAO told us they expect to finish the data collection by the end of July, submit a draft report to Congress by November 15, and are likely to have a report available for us in December.
