WASHINGTON—House leaders said they have scheduled votes Tuesday on two more bills that are part of the GOP’s broader initiative aimed at reducing burdens on startups, spurring innovation and creating more U.S. jobs.

The two bills, tied to angel investing and equity crowdfunding, are among more than 20 pieces of legislation rolled out under an “innovation initiative,” announced in April.

A number of the bills in the innovation package, including one that would expand rural access to the internet, have already passed the House with bipartisan support, and both bills on Tuesday are expected to get backing from Republicans and Democrats.
