Turner sponsored H.R. 6844, the Employer and Employee COVID Protection Act, in May 2020, matching the promised policy. However, the bill only reached committee referral and did not become law or otherwise deliver the promised aid and employer protections. This was a serious legislative attempt, so effort credit is warranted, but the promised outcome was not fulfilled.
