In the House of Representatives, 150 members of the House have endorsed the legislation. This includes eight members of the New York delegation, including Rep. Elise Stefanik and Rep. Andrew Garbarino, who signed last week:
Rep. Garbarino, Andrew R. [R-NY-2]
Rep. Gillen, Laura [D-NY-4]
Rep. LaLota, Nick [R-NY-1]
Rep. Langworthy, Nicholas A. [R-NY-23]
Rep. Riley, Josh [D-NY-19]
Rep. Stefanik, Elise M. [R-NY-21
Rep. Tenney, Claudia [R-NY-24]
Rep. Velázquez, Nydia M. [D-NY-7]
We continue to push to have the legislation scheduled for a vote before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The bill passed the House Energy and Commerce Committee last year by a 44-2 vote and had 270 co-sponsors.
As we reported previously, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has officially signed on as a cosponsor of the bill (S.315). The legislation now has 60 Senators signing on to the bill, which gives it a “veto-proof” majority. It passed the Senate Commerce Committee earlier this year by a 27 to 1 vote. Now, the question is whether Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) will bring the bill to the floor for a vote.
NYSBA has contacted all members of the New York delegation and is urging them to cosponsor this important legislation. We will keep you updated.
