Unfortunately, this is the norm in Washington nowadays. The bills are thousands of pages long, and they‘re often plopped on our desks a few hours before the vote takes place.

I believe the American people deserve better.

That‘s why I‘ve introduced the „Read the Bills Act“ in the U.S. Senate to stop the backroom deals where thousand page bills are rammed into law before anyone knows what‘s in them.

If passed, this legislation would mandate members of Congress to actually read the bills they vote on by requiring them to wait one day before a vote is held for every 20 pages of legislation.
