Didn't Congress pass this requirement as a law a few years ago?

No. The Republicans refused to allow it out of committee. It never received a vote. This was while Republicans chaired the Cmte and led the Senate and the House. I think the bill was initiated by Sen. Brownback at that time.

The REPUBLICAN leadership killed the bill.
