The bill was introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on House Administration and the Committee on Education and Workforce. Sponsors include Frederica Wilson, Suzanne Bonamici, Ed Case, Angie Craig, Shomari Figures, Eleanor Norton, and Rashida Tlaib.

The Department of Education would be asked to pay schools back for costs of those drives through grants.
