Specific Policy Areas
show votes | Title: Responsibly And Professionally Invigorating Development Act of 2015 (2015 roll call h518) | |||
| Vote: Aye (increases score) | Type: passage | Date: 2015-09-25 | Weight: 2 |
| Title: Amendment designed to protect the independence of regulatory agencies (2016 roll call h14) | |||
| Vote: Nay (increases score) | Type: amendment | Date: 2016-01-07 | Weight: 1 |
| Scoring explanation: Certain regulatory agencies, such as the SEC and CFPB, are structured to be somewhat independent to minimize the ability of business lobbyists to pressure them. This amendment to the SCRUB Act was intended to protect the independence of those agencies. | |||
| Title: Searching for and Cutting Regulations that are Unnecessarily Burdensome Act of 2015 (2016 roll call h20) | |||
| Vote: Aye (increases score) | Type: passage | Date: 2016-01-07 | Weight: 6 |
| Scoring explanation: This bill is intended to structure the regulatory process in a way that would result in dramatic deregulation of big business. | |||
| Title: Amendment to reduce the burden placed on plaintiffs by a bill to curtail class actions (2016 roll call h29) | |||
| Vote: Nay (increases score) | Type: amendment | Date: 2016-01-08 | Weight: 2 |
| Scoring explanation: Class actions are generally a means by which individuals can seek compensation from businesses that have harmed them. Suing a large business as an individual is often not feasible, while it is more often feasible for a large group that can pool their resources. The bill which this amendment would revise (HR 1927) to lessen the burden the bill would place on litigants who wish to proceed as a class. | |||
| Title: Fairness in Class Action Litigation Act of 2015 (2016 roll call h33) | |||
| Vote: Aye (increases score) | Type: passage | Date: 2016-01-08 | Weight: 6 |
| Scoring explanation: This bill would raise the bar for forming a class dramatically. Class actions are typically used by individuals when a large business does a small amount of harm to a large number of people. For example, if a company were to do $50 worth of harm to each of one million of its customers, it would not be feasible for each individual to sue, so the company would only be forced to compensate the customers it harmed if they are able to form a class. By setting a very high burden of proof for forming a class, this bill would block many class actions. | |||
