This is the law and policy this bill covers; for the most part most is already discovered and discussed. I'll read through the entirety of it. If there is any stone I left unturned I will enter it in the next entry.

I covered most if not all the related bills. 

It has not been assigned to any committee, but, most of the related bills have already made their way through committee.

This bill is sponsored by Senator Harry Reid and co-sponsored by Senator Tim Kaine.

There are currently five amendments listed; S.Amdt.711 through S. Amdt. 715. I'll read these last to know where they fit in to the bill and whether or not it enhances it's purpose or not.

The other official titles to the bill have already been recognized.

The latest actions were on April 11th of which there are four. All are to move the bill forward to a vote in the USA Senate.

The text is not horribly long of which most has already been covered.

Thank you for your kind attention.
