It was proposed last year by a Democrat in the House, but it has had bipartisan support from the start. This year, two Republican champions of the legislation in the Senate revived it and attached it to different legislation with some revisions and got Trump to agree to it. In both the House and Senate it has strong bipartisan agreement.
