TRACE Act: Democratic Rep. Bobby Rush’s COVID-19 Bill, HR 6666, Sparks Backlash (https://heavy.com/news/2020/05/hr-6666-trace-bill-bobby-rush/)
llinois U.S. Rep. Bobby L. Rush’s $100 billion grant program proposed in the H.R. 6666 TRACE bill has sparked a backlash from those who believe it would be unconstitutional (https://heavy.com/tag/law).
Rush introduced the H.R. 6666 TRACE Act (https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/6666/text?r=2&s=1) (formally known as the COVID-19 Testing, Reaching and Contracting Everyone Act) on May 1. The Act would create grants for health care, school-based, academic and nonprofit entities to run mobile testing sites and hire staff to test.
However, the Action Network started a petition (https://actionnetwork.org/letters/stop-the-unconstitutional-illegal-trace-act/) called “Stop the Unconstitutional, Illegal TRACE Act (HR 6666)” to prevent the bill from being adopted by Congress. The petition, which has since become unavailable, read in part: “It is a stunningly illegal power grab beyond what the Constitution offers the Congress, and an outright assault on the people to be deplored by all. And, it is also a massive waste of $100 billion – allocated for 2020 alone.”
At the time of writing, the petition had gathered 3,898 signatures of the 6,400 required.
