No cosponsors on record. Bills can pass without cosponsors — this often means the sponsor introduced the bill alone, either because it's a messaging bill, a chairman's mark, or simply early in the legislative cycle.

Members of Congress would be allowed to wear denim jeans on the House floor once a year, specifically on the last Wednesday of April. Currently, House rules require formal business attire, so this change would create a single exception to that dress code requirement. The proposal is currently under review by the House Rules Committee.
