Bill Overview
Title: A bill for the relief of Cesar Carlos Silva Rodriguez.
Description: Provides for the relief of Cesar Carlos Silva Rodriguez.
Sponsors: Sen. Cortez Masto, Catherine [D-NV]
Target Audience
Population: Cesar Carlos Silva Rodriguez
Estimated Size: 1
- The bill is specific to an individual named Cesar Carlos Silva Rodriguez.
- It provides relief specifically for this individual and possibly connected or dependent family members if applicable.
Reasoning
- Given that the policy is highly specific and only affects Cesar Carlos Silva Rodriguez directly, the impact on the general population is virtually non-existent.
- The target population for direct impacts is quite literally one individual, making broader surveys or interviews largely unaffected by the policy changes.
- The budget constraints suggest minimal administrative or implementation costs, as it’s likely that the funds are directly allocated to Cesar for relief purposes.
- Our interviews will need to represent individuals tangentially related or indirectly affected by policy precedents, or who share similar immigration relief needs, if at all.
- Include Cesar’s situation in the interviews to illustrate the maximum impact within this policy’s scope, while other interviews may show essentially no change, reflecting the policy’s specificity.
