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.

Face Value

as introduced
100Narrow

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

This is the kind of unglamorous plumbing that never makes the news and matters more than the stuff that does.

The sunset clause point is the strongest argument in this thread and nobody has answered it.

My objection is scope creep. The title describes something narrow; the text is considerably broader than the title suggests.

The intent is fine. The drafting is not. There's no sunset, no review, and no mechanism to stop it if it turns out to be counterproductive.

Fair, but the alternative on the table is nothing, and nothing has a cost too.

Genuine question for people on both sides: what does success look like five years out? If we can't answer that, what are we voting on?

Same conclusion, different reasoning. I'm less worried about scope and more about who administers it.

I'd oppose this. It reads like it was written to be announced rather than administered.

Where are you seeing that? I read the summary twice and it doesn't say that anywhere.

Sure, but 'the states are doing it' cuts the other way for me. If it's working there, why federalise it?
