Introduce the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov lists H.R.6238 as the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act of 2018. Sponsor: Rep. Matt Cartwright, introduced 06/27/2018; latest action was referral to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
Congress.gov cosponsor list shows Rep. Norcross, Donald [D-NJ-1] as a cosponsor dated 06/28/2018. The page also states the sponsor was Rep. Matt Cartwright and that there were 17 original cosponsors.
GovInfo bill text states H.R. 6238 was introduced on June 27, 2018 by Mr. Cartwright for himself and named members, then referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce. Section 1 cites the short title as the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act of 2018.
Assessments
Norcross did not fulfill the literal promise to introduce the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act: official records identify Rep. Matt Cartwright as the sponsor/introducer of H.R.6238, and Norcross was not listed among the members introducing the bill. Norcross did, however, materially support the same bill by cosponsoring it on June 28, 2018, one day after introduction, while serving as a U.S. Representative, so this merits partial credit and an effort badge rather than full delivery.
