This bill never became law.
This bill was proposed in a previous session of Congress. Sessions
of Congress last two years, and at the end of each session all
proposed bills and resolutions that haven't passed are cleared from the books.
Members often reintroduce bills that did not come up for debate
under a new number in the next session.

House Education and Labor: Subcommittee Hearings Held. | Related: | See the Related Legislation page for other bills related to this one and a list of subject terms
that have been applied to this bill.
Sometimes the text of one bill or resolution is incorporated into another, and in those cases the original bill or resolution, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned. |

There is no such thing as "legal responsibilities to" a bill; the Committee is free to decline to consider it in its discretion. The Committee apparently tabled this specific bill and no action will be taken until it votes to report the bill to the House. |
