HR 554 is known as "Read The Bill." It's supported by the Sunlight Foundation, and requires a bill to be posted online for 72 hours prior to consideration on the House Floor. This gives the general public time to read the bill, and contact their legislators.
The bill is sponsored by Brian Baird, (D-WA), and is an essential act of transparency, no matter which party is in power.
