Though the symbolically titled H.R. 51 bill is identical to the one passed on June 26, 2020, the legislation was never put to the vote in the then Republican-controlled Senate. However, this time around, the bill which has the support of both President Joe Biden and Democratic Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer will get a fair hearing in the upper house of Congress.
