Key Points

Committee chairs would have to report which lawmakers submitted amendments that got adopted in committee or on the House/Senate floor.
For big money and tax committees, chairs would also have to name the lawmaker responsible for adding each provision in the version the committee reports out.
The House Clerk, Senate Secretary, and Government Publishing Office would then add those names into bill text as footnotes tied to the specific amendment or provision.
Goal: make it easier for the public and other lawmakers to see who wrote or pushed specific changes in major bills.
