I'm confused by Ayanna Pressley being mentioned as if she were the author of the bill. There is a Boston Globe article that refers to it as "Pressley's bill" but according to information on [1] it was introduce by Amash, and Pressley was just one of about 17 original cosponsors.

This bill has not been formally introduced in the House so there is no reference/bill number yet. Plus there's no formal draft language to it. Without those references, I'm not sure this is notable and worth an article. —GoldRingChip(it/they) 15:45, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would say with current events, even if this doesn't make it to the floor, it is still notable in its current form. While we don't have a collective name for the events catalyzed by the killing of George Floyd, this is strongly entangled with those events. —KJ4IPS (talk) 17:53, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would say definitely notable. It is historic – the first legislation introduced by a Libertarian in Congress. Starchild (talk)
@GoldRingChip: Where could I find a bill number? Is there a list somewhere? I'll keep an eye out for it, I assume it will happen soon. John Cummings (talk) 21:23, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It would be at Congress.gov: here. The article you cited says Amash is preparing it, so I guess he hasn't filed it yet. —GoldRingChip(it/they) 21:53, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the claim that this was “the first tripartisan bill”. I don’t know for certain that this is untrue, but there were more than two parties in Congress for most of the time between the Civil War and World War II. It seems very unlikely that there were no bills in that entire period that were supported by members of at least three parties, and there have probably been bills supported by Representatives from four or more parties.
