H.R. 2676 · 117th Congress

RECS Act

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

No cosponsors.

Revealing Economic Conclusions for Suggestions Act or the RECS Act

This bill requires the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), when submitting recommendations for legislation, to submit an accompanying economic analysis.

The required analysis must demonstrate that (1) the FTC has identified a problem it determines should be addressed (including the FTC's rationale for determining that private markets or public institutions could not address this issue), and (2) the recommended legislation is based on a reasoned determination that the benefits of the recommended legislation outweigh its costs.
