    Senate to take test vote on college sports overhaul

    The Senate is poised to possibly pass by the end of the week a bill fundamentally altering money and eligibility rules in college sports. A test vote is scheduled for Thursday, with more than 70 senators supporting the measure, which establishes a ceiling on NIL payments, limits transfers, and sets eligibility standards.

    “Sen. Husted's bill is a fraud. It's voluntary. No company has to do it. The bill we have is mandatory. It is much stronger and is what is needed.”
    — Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader (D-N.Y.) · source

    Schumer calls Husted's utility bill 'a fraud'

    Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer contests the Ratepayer Protection Act, characterizing it as weaker than the Democratic alternative and suggesting its main purpose is to give Husted a political win before the midterms.

  4. background

    Ratepayer Protection Act dispute emerges between Senate parties — The House passed the Ratepayer Protection Act 417-3, which would defray utility costs for consumers near data centers. Democrats have blocked it in the Senate. The dispute centers on Senator Jon Husted (R-Ohio), a vulnerable midterm incumbent who faces criticism back home for his data-center support.
