On the recordFebruary 4, 1999
Let me just say from the outset, H.R. 350, the Mandate Information Act of 1999, this bill does not stop legislative mandates. Let me repeat that. The bill does not stop mandates. If this body chooses to pass a mandate on local business, small business, large business, whoever, they can do so. Let me tell my colleagues what this bill does. It is really simple. All the bill does is allow us to accumulate more information for the Members of this House, for us to ask that we do an analysis by CBO of the cost of the mandate. That is simply what it does.
