> Congress set to pass bill ...

No that is a lie and the link you shared explicitly states as much.

Notice where it says "Washington **state**" at the top.. This is a state bill, it applies only to washington state and has absolutely nothing to do with congress which can neither vote on it or pass.

It is a troubling bill in general of course, but it is limited to a single state.

@icedquinn

In what sense? Provide misinformation and lie about what it means? Yea its pretty common. Though until I hear a response I will give this person the benefit of the doubt that they just made a mistake and hopefully they post a correction.

@freemo

Yeah I'm pretty sure the OP shared this in good faith. As you mentioned, it's troubling either way. I boosted it without comment because there were already multiple replies clarifying it was a state level bill.
