  • 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

Agreed on substance, disagreed on timing. Doing this badly now makes doing it well later harder.

The summary reads clearly enough, but the enforcement mechanism is doing all the work and it's the part with the least detail. Whether that matters depends entirely on the implementation date.

No from me. Pushing the cost to states without saying so is still an unfunded mandate. Someone closer to this than me should say whether that's right.
