Analysis
AI-writtenInterpretation written by AI from the cited records. It is not reviewed by a human, and it makes no prediction and states no position.
Filing volume and legislative movement diverge for H.R. 8413: 153 filings from 85 clients contain the phrase, while the timeline holds 4 actions, all dated April 21, 2026.R7R3
Filing text swaps designations: one SIFMA filing reads "H.R. 8398 Secure Data Act; H.R. 8413 GUARD Financial Data Act," the reverse of the Congress.gov titles for those numbers.R6R1R10 The designation search returns 160 filings and 91 clients and the phrase search 153 and 85, so the 2 totals rest on different keywords and are not additive.R7R8
The $5,130,000 American Medical Association figure is total 2026 Q2 lobbying expenses on a filing that names several other bills, so it sizes the filer, not spending on H.R. 8413.R6 Filings that name both H.R. 8413 and H.R. 8398 cover bills held by Energy and Commerce, Judiciary and Financial Services.R1R10R6
House Energy and Commerce voted 53-2 on July 20, 2022 to advance an earlier privacy bill, H.R. 8152, per CRS, and H.R. 8413 has no committee vote on its timeline.R11R3
