The House Financial Services Committee today advanced Congressman Zachary Nunn’s (IA-03) Protecting Americans’ Savings Act, legislation to ban the practice of “robovoting.” The release says the bill prohibits robovoting by banning automatic voting based solely on proxy advisory firm recommendations.

Nunn’s proposal advanced in committee, showing concrete legislative effort, but this still fell short of final delivery because it was only a committee-stage action.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Nunn introduced the Protecting Americans' Savings Act and the House Financial Services Committee advanced it during his current House term, so he made a concrete legislative effort toward banning robovoting. However, the evidence only shows introduction and committee advancement, not enactment into law or implementation of the promised prohibition. Because the promised policy outcome was not delivered, this should be marked never with effort credit.
