"We thank Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rep. Seth W. Moulton (D-MA) as well as House and Senate original cosponsors Reps. Will Hurd (R-TX), Mark Meadows (R-NC), Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Tom Carper (D-DE), Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) for putting this bill across the finish line.
