Unfortunately many congresspeople routinely file such bills only to never get consideration.

  I was curious about this, and so I found that the entire time that Bernie Sanders has been in the Senate, only two pieces of legislation he has sponsored has actually become law. When he was a member of the House of Representatives, he only sponsored one bill that became law, which was to rename a post office Source: https://www.congress.gov/advanced-search/legislation?congressGroup%5B%5D=0&congresses%5B%5D=118&congresses%5B%5D=117&congresses%5B%5D=116&congresses%5B%5D=115&congresses%5B%5D=114&congresses%5B%5D=113&congresses%5B%5D=112&congresses%5B%5D=111&congresses%5B%5D=110&congresses%5B%5D=109&congresses%5B%5D=108&congresses%5B%5D=107&congresses%5B%5D=106&congresses%5B%5D=105&congresses%5B%5D=104&congresses%5B%5D=103&congresses%5B%5D=102&congresses%5B%5D=101&congresses%5B%5D=100&congresses%5B%5D=99&congresses%5B%5D=98&congresses%5B%5D=97&congresses%5B%5D=96&congresses%5B%5D=95&congresses%5B%5D=94&congresses%5B%5D=93&legislationNumbers=&restrictionType=field&restrictionFields%5B%5D=allBillTitles&restrictionFields%5B%5D=summary&summaryField=billSummary&enterTerms=&wordVariants=true&legislationTypes%5B%5D=s&becamelaw=true&chamber=all&actionTerms=&legislativeActionWordVariants=true&actionDateBoxCount=2&actionText=&dateOfActionOperator=equal&dateOfActionStartDate=&dateOfActionEndDate=&dateOfActionIsOptions=yesterday&actionText2=&dateOfActionOperator2=equal&dateOfActionStartDate2=&dateOfActionEndDate2=&dateOfActionIsOptions2=yesterday&dateOfActionToggle=multi&legislativeAction=156&sponsorState=One&member=Sanders+&sponsorTypes%5B%5D=sponsor&sponsorTypes%5B%5D=sponsor&sponsorTypeBool=OR&dateOfSponsorshipOperator=equal&dateOfSponsorshipStartDate=&dateOfSponsorshipEndDate=&dateOfSponsorshipIsOptions=yesterday&committeeActivity%5B%5D=0&committeeActivity%5B%5D=3&committeeActivity%5B%5D=11&committeeActivity%5B%5D=12&committeeActivity%5B%5D=4&committeeActivity%5B%5D=2&committeeActivity%5B%5D=5&committeeActivity%5B%5D=9&satellite=%5B%5D&search=&submitted=Submitted https://www.congress.gov/advanced-search/legislation?congres...

    What does that mean? What’s your point? I’m not sure those facts matter much.

  Still in the "Introduced" stage. Given the amount of lobbying in the US, and isn't the US senate Republican controlled(?), and lack of bipartisan cooperation, seems impossible for this to go anywhere.

  With the current House majority, this bill is DOA.
