NRLN Report - IL 114th Congress Legislative Bill Report Card 06/19/2015
This represents who in congress is co-sponsored bills the NRLN has reviewed and supports. These bills have a relationship to the NRLN's Legislative Agenda which may be viewed at
http://www.nrln.org/index.html Not co-sponsoring a bill may not positively indicate a negative view of such, but may. Conversely co-sponsoring is a positive indicator.
The chart below is a snapshot of the type bills that the NRLN is supporting during the current 114th Congress. The NRLN works on issues that affect all retirees by building relationships
with nationally elected governmental officials. The Grassroots members of NRLN regularly contact the Senators and Representatives to gain their understanding and support of Bills like
these, and for the introduction of new legislation to protect retirees. Many congressional staffs have been visited in Washington and locally and have been provided information on the
NRLN issues and white papers providing detailed information. These are available at http://www.nrln.org/index.html
