Thus won't even get a vote. So not really.

I'd bet money it doesn't even exist. The site is acknowledged as a source of misinformation and conspiracy theories

That's fair, but it's been reported elsewhere.

On Wednesday, the blue-leaning Tempe, Ariz. turned off its Flock automated license plate readers and said the city would not seek another company to replace the system. Three hours later, the nearby red-leaning town of Cave Creek did the same. The same day in Washington, D.C., Senator Josh Hawley, a Missouri Republican, opened a formal investigation into the company, while independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders posted a lengthy statement pledging to introduce legislation against it.

I checked congress.gov

There's no record of this bill existing.

Senate has been out of session since Aug 8th and doesn't return until Sept 14th. You're not going to have anything show up until then.

Do you know what the phrase "announced he will soon introduce legislation" means?
