Govtrack has published several comparisons of the various Emergency Economic Stabilization bills as PDF documents in the form of line-by-line file-to-file compares. The link is here.

The Senate bill to be voted on tonight is actually a revision of HR 1424, amending section 712 of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, link here.

There are some provisions that may seem unrelated, such as amending the Alternative Minimum Tax, although exclusion of income from housing losses seems important, as would changes in preferred stock rules.

HR 1424 is actually the Genetic Non Discrimination Act, link here.

It’s disturbing to see so many unrelated bills linked this way.
