This is a comparative print (known within Congress as a “Ramseyer Rule Print”) of S. 1855, the AV START Act. We took the text of S. 1855 as reported from the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee last year (text here) and then illustrated every change made in that base text by the new staff discussion draft released on December 3, 2018 (text of the new discussion draft here).

  • Text of S. 1885 as reported from committee that is unchanged in the new staff discussion draft is in standard roman type.
  • Text of S. 1885 as reported that is deleted in the new staff discussion draft is in strikethrough type.
  • New text proposed to be added by the new discussion draft is in bold italic type.
