House Democrats recently introduced a bill that would permit the government to award grants to “eligible entities” for CCP virus testing and other activities such as the tracing and monitoring of infected individuals. But critics argue the legislation is unconstitutional.
Bill H.R. 6666, also known as the “COVID-19 Testing, Reaching, And Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act” was introduced by Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) on May 1. The bill proposes the allocation of $100 billion to organizations that could provide testing and contact tracing services through mobile health units or at people’s homes.
