Voting analysis
One of Tom Emmer's bills concerns the timeliness of veteran burials and accountability for death certificates. That is administrative machinery attached to the worst week of a family's life — a certificate that has not been issued stops a burial, and there is no way to hurry it except by changing the rule. Bills like this exist because a constituent could not bury someone.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 48 currently sit at Introduced.
Digital assets and deposits
Finance dominates his classified subjects, well ahead of everything else. He is vice chairman of the panel covering digital assets, financial technology and artificial intelligence — the same subcommittee whose chairman and ranking member are also written up on this site — and one of his filings would give regulatory certainty to blockchain. Another would keep deposits local. The remaining two address scams and the securing of mental health facilities.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Tom Emmer's cluster into: Finance and Financial Sector (23), Crime and Law Enforcement (5), Government Operations and Politics (5), Armed Forces and National Security (3), Taxation (3), Economics and Public Finance (2).
