The linked pdf is 5 pages.

It seems like irresponsible journalism to not just include the text in any article written about it.



This is a problem I have with how a LOT of legal topics are covered, Bills, lawsuits and court cases are discussed, the merits opined, but nary a complaint, brief, motion or court opinion gets linked so I can read for my damn self what the actual law as voted on says.

It’s more of a surprise when it IS linked or embedded to read than not

I've had decent results consulting this site.

The bill in question has not, as far as I can tell, been brought up for consideration yet anywhere so the only text that exists is that which is linked in the submission.

Just looking at the co-sponsors alone, I'd be worried about this legislation.


The bill has been passed. It was added into the omnibus bill as a part of negotiating between the Dems and the GOP.


I agree in principle, but you wouldn't expect court documents in particular to exist for a new piece of legislation though. In this case we would want the proposed revision to the federal code.


But is the text of that PDF the same as the text in the monster bill?


Yes, it is. You can trivially ctrl+f it to make sure.
