Status: Bypassed committees entirely upon introduction. Will likely be brought to Senate floor within the next couple of weeks, but unlikely to reach the 60-vote threshold on a motion to proceed to debate.
House Companion: H.R. 12, sponsored by Dem Caucus Chair John Larson (D-CT1) at the request of the President. No cosponsors. Referred to Ways and Means and ten other committees with partial jurisdiction. Highly unlikely to move barring a compromise deal.
