[GovTrackInsider] Bill would create Cabinet-level Department of Reconciliation tasked to “end racism,” with budget at least 10% of Defense Department.Rep. Al Green and his co-sponsors believe that issues relating to race in America — in areas including policing, wealth disparities, and ballot access — demand a similar 9/11-level “reckoning” moment that calls for another new Cabinet department.
It was introduced in the House on February 9 as H.Res. 919, by Rep. Al Green (D-TX9).

ODDS OF PASSAGE
Rep. Green introduced a prior version in early June 2020, during the peak week of protests over racial inequities and police misconduct in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. It attracted 33 Democratic cosponsors, but never received a committee vote despite Democrats controlling the chamber.
The current proposal has attracted an identical 33 cosponsors, all Democrats. It awaits a potential vote in the House Judiciary Committee.
Typical House of Representatives posturing for the rubes.
