Official records Congress.gov attaches to H.R. 3281.

• Constitutional authority statementThe sponsor’s statement of where the Constitution gives Congress the power to pass this bill. Statement by Mr. McHENRY, as printed in the Congressional Record (Vol. 167, No. 85, May 17, 2021, Page H2421):
  Article I, Section 8, Clause 3: ``To regulate Commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian Tribes.'' Because the federal government has extended Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 beyond its intended boundaries, it follows that efforts to rein in excessive federal government encroachment in this area can be justified by Article I, Section 8, Clause 3.

  PORKER shows the statement exactly as printed, with the page markup removed. It is the sponsor’s claim; it is not a legal finding.

Congress.gov’s record for this bill does not list a CBO cost estimate or a committee report (as of January 16, 2025). Not every bill gets one.
