I have never heard this particular angle on this bill, and would hope that it's wrong. Can someone confirm/deny with some references?

Is there a particular statement in the bill you deem wrong?

That is probably true, but that fact is not an all-access pass to making inaccurate claims about the bill. But it gets used that way all the time.

I'm having a hard time believing this is true. The language in the bill itself is totally indecipherable (to me), but the only people claiming it would be a huge burden have a clear ideological or political bias.

Allegedly.

Is there any other source who speaks this dialect of legalese and has concluded that that's what the bill would do? Have the bill's sponsors had a chance to explain the bill?

FYI: i heard about that in a news article, I didn't actually read the bill.

It would be nice if you edit your original comment to note that you are not talking about what is in the bill, merely what ought to be. It's misleading as is.

At first glance, the bill doesn't seem to say what this article says it does. I'm not sure to what passages they refer.

Indeed, wtf. the article seems to directly contradict the bill text.

Eh? That is definitely nor what's going on with this bill.

gph | karma 1792 | avg karma 3.47 · | 2019-05-21 20:24:35+00:00

No it doesn't, that's the whole point of this bill.

arkem | karma 580 | avg karma 2.67 · | 2015-10-26 15:57:28+00:00

After reading the text of the bill I'm full of indifference towards it. Can you expand on why you think it's a bad law? I'd like to know because I'm probably missing an angle.

gruez | karma 34333 | avg karma 2.33 · | 2024-04-29 12:30:50

Which part of the bill says that?

bsamuels | karma 2066 | avg karma 5.99 · | 2018-03-22 16:48:56

do you have evidence that something like that has happened before with such a specifically worded bill?

bentlegen | karma 3641 | avg karma 7.52 · | 2012-04-27 02:36:38+00:00

Can you give me an excerpt from the bill? The summary doesn't seem to cover this.

Vivtek | karma 10545 | avg karma 3.96 · | 2013-09-22 10:05:41+00:00

Oh! I hereby stand corrected. I should have said (and checked) that the provision as described is useless. I know there's reason for cynicism when it comes to Congress, but maybe I'm overdoing it. Thanks for the link!

remram | karma 7409 | avg karma 1.74 · | 2022-09-01 10:11:50

I might have missed that part of the bill, do you have a quote?

cauliflower99 | karma 589 | avg karma 3.64 · | 2023-05-08 17:36:13

If you read the proposed bill, you will see your statement is incorrect.

goldscott | karma 50 | avg karma 3.57 · | 2014-08-19 19:26:33+00:00

Ah! This wasn't in the version of the bill that I googled (first result when searching 'sb962' showed me the original bill).

simiones | karma 4173 | avg karma 2.18 · | 2023-04-07 10:46:07

I had no idea, I had only heard about it from the bill... Thank you for correcting me!
