There are 60 cosponsors in the Senate. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand both support the legislation. The Senate bill (S. 315) has already passed the Senate Commerce Committee and is ready for a vote on the Senate Floor.
We hope to move the legislation in the House of Representatives right after the August recess.
