About the bill
This bill passed the House on March 3 and the Senate on June 16. However, the Senate's changes contained a minor provision that violated the antiquated "blue slip" provision of the Constitution. As a result, the bill's provisions were given a second chance by being moved into S. 3373 for further consideration.
