Here is the response I received back from Congressman Ford's office.
"On behalf of Congressman Ford, thanks for your message. The bill has not made it out of committee for a floor vote. We are pressuring leadership to bring it to the floor, but they have not yet done so.

As a result, I would encourage you to contact your representative in Congress and ask him or her to co-sponsor the bill. That will help generate momentum necessary to get things moving in Congress. You may also want to ask your friends and colleagues to do the same. Congress tends to act best when pushed by the people, so any attention you can bring to the bill is a good thing.

Thanks again for the message and I wish you all the best."
