Object version Introduced in Senate print (BILLS-118s2400is) · Published 2023-07-19 · Effective date not established Date 2023-07-19 · event Scope and limits Introduction is not passage or enactment; the bill-status record shows no action after the referral and no committee report, so nothing here says the bill advanced. The number, title, dates and sponsor are taken from the official bill-status record and the bill text on govinfo.gov, not from any press account. The status record names H.R. 4702 as an identical bill identified by the Congressional Research Service.

Status and meaning Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor . An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.
Relation. A legislative chamber records the introduction of a bill on the stated date (schema 2.19). Introduction is not passage or enactment.
Date. Date of introduction in the Senate, from the official bill-status record and the bill's own dateline; the record carries no basis, as the dataset's own legislative status records do not. The status record lists one text version, as introduced, and no action later than the referral of 19 July 2023, but it carries the generation stamp 2025-12-05, so that absence of later action is bounded by that stamp and not by a fresh congressional check on the check date.
