Just to be clear, this proposed legislation was introduced by one Senator in June 2017. There is one entry in the calendar for the legislation. It is the same entry made for every piece of proposed legislation offered by any Senator (and a similar type of entry exists in the House). It will die when the Senate recesses for the Term sometime in December.
"June 2017 - Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
Action By: Senate"
There are thousands of pieces of legislation proposed every year. The vast, vast, vast majority die with the same kind of entry. No co-sponsors, no hearings. But, the sponsor does get to issue a press release.
I'm not sure why OP is posting something today which happened in June 2017.
BTW - The sponsor may call the proposed legislation anything he wants to call it, so long as it is not obscene or disrespectful of another Member. It's not remotely worth worrying about what proposed legislation is called. The debate here about it isn't either.
