What it does

not written yet

The Congressional Research Service writes the plain-English summary for every bill, usually a few weeks after it's introduced. This one doesn't have one yet. It will appear here when it does.

In the meantime the most reliable description is the bill's own official title, which is the heading above — written by its sponsor, and the only account of the bill that exists at this stage. The full text is on congress.gov ↗

We don't write our own summaries. Everything else on this site links back to a record you can check, and a description of a bill that came from us rather than from the bill would be the one thing here that didn't — on the page that asks you to take a position on it.

What I'd want before deciding: who administers it, out of which budget, and who they answer to when it doesn't work. The same objection applied to the last version and went unanswered.

Genuine question rather than a gotcha: what does success look like in five years? If we can't say, what are we actually voting on? The floor version may not be this version, which is the usual problem.

In favour. The transparency provisions alone justify it, and they're the hardest part to undo later.

I keep going back and forth on this one. The problem is real; I'm not convinced this is the instrument for it. The floor version may not be this version, which is the usual problem.
