How much of this bill its name accounts for.

  • Every bill starts at100
  • Nothing counted against it: one area of law, and short enough that length doesn't register.

Face Value measures reach, not honesty. A big bill can be accurately named, and a low score is not an accusation — it means the contents reach further than any short title could describe. Count it yourself ↗ How this is worked out

Against, and not because the goal is wrong. It stacks a new process on top of two that already don't talk to each other. The floor version may not be this version, which is the usual problem.

The summary reads clearly enough, but the enforcement mechanism is doing all the work and it's the part with the least detail. That's a drafting question rather than a political one.

The cost estimate assumes full compliance, and full compliance never happens. That gap is where these things go wrong. The committee report would settle it either way.
