Voting analysis
One of Andy Barr's bills would let the Treasury direct the deposit insurance corporation and the credit union regulator to stand up emergency transaction account guarantee programmes. That is a bank-run instrument. Blanket guarantees on transaction accounts are what governments reach for when depositors start moving money at speed, and a bill authorising them in advance is a bill about wanting the tool ready before it is needed.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 49 currently sit at Introduced.
He chairs the financial institutions subcommittee, and finance dominates his classified subjects. Two other members of that same subcommittee — its ranking Democrat and its Republican vice chairman — also have pages on this site, which makes it one of the more completely represented panels here.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Andy Barr's cluster into: Finance and Financial Sector (19), Immigration (4), International Affairs (4), Taxation (4), Economics and Public Finance (3), Energy (3).
Hemp, wagers, drill pay
The remaining filings are a scattered set: lawful hemp protection, a wagering measure, retention pay for border patrol supervisors, and an exemption of drill pay from tax. Only the last two share anything, and what they share is uniformed personnel rather than a policy.
Where he broke ranks
Four times. Two amendment votes that failed, a daylight saving measure he opposed while it passed, and a rotorcraft safety bill he backed that did not.
