Bill Overview
Title: For the relief of Jaime Avalos Rosales.
Description: Provides for the relief of Jaime Avalos Rosales.
Sponsors: Rep. Green, Al [D-TX-9]
Target Audience
Population: People impacted by the relief bill for Jaime Avalos Rosales
Estimated Size: 1
- The bill explicitly names Jaime Avalos Rosales as the individual for whose relief it is intended.
- Since it is a relief bill for a specific named individual, the primary person impacted is Jaime Avalos Rosales himself.
- Such bills typically do not have widespread implications or effects on broader populations unless they set a legal precedent.
Reasoning
- The policy is dedicated to a single individual, Jaime Avalos Rosales, therefore the direct impact is highly restricted to him.
- Given this, only a small sample population within his immediate circle could potentially have feelings or opinions about the policy.
- For the broader US population, such individual relief bills rarely result in measurable personal well-being impacts.
- Indirect observations or opinions may stem from people's stances on how government funds are utilized, but these won't impact their individual well-being measures.
