Agreement with their delegation
on bills that reached the floor
ChuD-CA-28—no overlap
PadillaD-CA—no overlap
SchiffD-CA—no overlap
The big number counts every bill where you both took a position. The smaller one counts only the votes where the two parties went opposite ways — which is the number that says something, because agreeing on a bill nobody opposed isn't agreement.

I'd support this and still say the effective date is optimistic. Everything downstream of it assumes agencies move faster than they do. None of that is settled by the summary.

No from me. Pushing the cost to states without saying so is still an unfunded mandate. I'd want the cost estimate before I'd defend either position.

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 reporting requirements are the useful part. You can't argue about something nobody is required to measure. The floor version may not be this version, which is the usual problem.

The pilot-programme framing is the part I'd watch. Pilots have a way of becoming permanent at the next reauthorisation. The committee report would settle it either way.

No from me. Pushing the cost to states without saying so is still an unfunded mandate. Happy to be told I've read it wrong.

- S. 550 — A bill to provide for the equitable settlement of certain Indian land disputes regarding land in Illinois, and for other purposes.
I'd like to see the fiscal note before taking a position. The summary is silent on cost, which is normally the whole argument. It'll come down to what the agency does with it.

- H.R. 7250 — To reauthorize the Fort Peck Reservation Rural Water System Act of 2000.
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.

- S. 4395 — Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2026
The drafting is loose in places where loose drafting is expensive. Conference could fix it; conference could also make it worse. The committee report would settle it either way.

This looks like it codifies practice that already exists informally. Worth doing — informal practice evaporates when an administration changes. The same objection applied to the last version and went unanswered.
