Plain-English Summary

Members of Congress would be required to publicly disclose reasons for missing votes and committee meetings, along with information about how often they are absent. The disclosures would be made available to the public so voters can see which representatives are regularly missing work and why. This would affect all senators and representatives and aim to increase accountability for congressional attendance.
