Senator Chuck Grassley has released his latest Capitol Hill Report, covering several legislative and policy topics relevant to Iowa and national interests.

The report addresses the concept of "One Big Beautiful Bill," a term often used in discussions about comprehensive legislative packages that combine multiple measures into a single piece of legislation. Grassley also discusses issues important to farmers, including benefits related to renewable fuels.

Another subject in the report is the effort to codify certain executive orders into law, a process that seeks to give these directives greater permanence beyond changes in presidential administrations.

Grassley comments on the recent Supreme Court decision denying a challenge to Proposition 12, which has implications for agricultural producers. The report also covers President Biden’s use of an autopen—a device that can sign documents automatically—highlighting ongoing debates about executive authority and procedure.
