Initial comments[edit]

I've rated this as start class, low importance. If the legislation goes anywhere, the article could become more relevant.

A lot of the specific numbers appear to be estimates. For bills without text citations, School Choice Now Act appears as a draft, but I believe the bill was introduced July 22nd [1]. However, it seems congress.gov ~~hasn't listed it yet?~~ is missing the full text. Roy Blunt's proposal is generically named after the congressional committee he's the head of, the United States Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies, so while the bill may have already gotten introduced, I'm not sure how to find it. His website calls it the "Labor/HHS section of the bill" [2]. Maybe these two aren't actually part of the HEALS package? The national Law Review is missing them in their list [3], and the ADA endorsement specifically mentions "eight bills" [4] instead of the ten. $\langle$ Forbes₇₂ | Talk $\rangle$ 04:06, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Turns out I misread a source. The two extra proposals were just particular subsections of the other bills. The number of bills is now eight, as expected.
