Voting analysis
One of David Taylor's bills responds to nitazenes. They are a class of synthetic opioid considerably more potent than the ones the existing statutes were drafted around, and each new compound arrives faster than the scheduling process that would control it. A response act is an attempt to legislate for a category rather than for a molecule.
Of all 34, 34 currently sit at Introduced.
Transportation tops his classified subjects, and another filing concerns reporting on commercial driving licences issued to non-domiciled drivers. The rest cover housing regulatory clarity, food assistance fraud reporting, and a post office named for a President.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. David Taylor's cluster into: Transportation and Public Works (6), Agriculture and Food (4), Crime and Law Enforcement (3), Science, Technology, Communications (3), Taxation (3), Armed Forces and National Security (2).
