Moreno explicitly supports the proposal and promises to prepare a bill for post-election passage. A promise to prepare legislation is not evidence that a bill had been introduced or enacted.
Why we used this label
Explicitly commits to advancing the proposal. This demonstrates support, not evidence of a bill already introduced or a payment already authorized.
