Bill > HR3507

This bill, known as the "Legislative Accountability Act", requires committee chairs in both the House of Representatives and the Senate to provide more transparency about bill amendments and provisions. Specifically, committee chairs must submit to the Clerk of the House or Secretary of the Senate the names of Members of Congress who proposed amendments that were adopted by the committee within 3 legislative days after a bill is reported. This requirement extends to the Rules Committees for amendments adopted when a bill passes a chamber, and includes special provisions for key committees like Appropriations, Ways and Means, and Finance, where chairs must also disclose which Members are responsible for specific provisions in reported bills. The Clerk, Senate Secretary, and Government Publishing Office must then include these names as footnotes in all versions of the bill (reported, engrossed, enrolled, or enacted), identifying which Member submitted a particular amendment or provision. The bill defines a "Member of Congress" as Senators, Representatives, Delegates, or Resident Commissioners, and emphasizes that these requirements are considered part of each chamber's rules, while preserving each chamber's constitutional right to modify its own rules.
