Congresswoman Sinema last week\u00a0called for passage\u00a0of the Senior Safe Act during a hearing with former Equifax Chairman and CEO Richard Smith.\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI am deeply troubled by the Equifax data breach that compromised the personal information of over 145 million Americans,\u201d\u00a0said Congresswoman Sinema.\u00a0\u201cEvery American should take precautionary measures to ensure his or her financial security. Arizona seniors are at particular risk, and we must make sure safeguards are in place to protect them from financial fraud.\u201d\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Fostering Innovation Act, introduced with Congressman Trey Hollingsworth (IN-09), provides commonsense regulatory relief for companies on the cutting edge of scientific and medical research. It is part of Congresswoman Sinema\u2019s\u00a0Opportunity for Arizona\u00a0plan to create jobs and grow the economy.\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cWe\u2019ve heard from companies throughout Arizona that burdensome regulations continue to stifle their ability to grow and succeed,\u201d\u00a0said Congresswoman Sinema.\u00a0\u201cThe Fostering Innovation Act allows innovative companies to spend valuable resources on product research and development instead of costly and unnecessary external audits. This commonsense solution cuts red tape and allows companies to move life-saving innovations forward.\u201d\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u00a0The House Financial Services Committee also passed five other bills cosponsored by Congresswoman Sinema, including H.R. 3898, the Impeding North Korea\u2019s Access to Finance Act of 2017; H.R. 1699, the Preserving Access to Manufactured Housing Act; H.R. 2121, the Pension, Endowment, and Mutual Fund Access to Banking Act; H.R. 3312, the Systemic Risk Designation Improvement Act; and H.R. 1585, the Fair Investment Opportunities for Professional Experts Act.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://sinema.house.gov/latest-news/sinema-passes-two-bills-through-house-financial-services-committee/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.9334449898451567, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
