Latest action. Executive Comment Requested from DOD.
Department of Energy Nuclear Contractors Accountability and Award System Act of 1989 - Amends the Department of Energy National Security and Military Applications of Nuclear Energy Authorization Act of 1986 to preclude the Secretary of Energy from treating as allowable contractor costs fines and penalties resulting from such contractor's violations or noncompliance with regulations. Directs the Secretary to report annually to the Congress any notices provided by contractors regarding specific violations or non-compliance before their actual occurrence. Directs the Secretary, upon contractor request, to renegotiate the terms of compensation under covered contracts. Directs the Secretary to establish a payments incentive system to encourage contractors to discover and avoid violations that might occur in the course of contract performance. Sets a deadline by which the Secretary must issue regulations implementing this Act.

Executive Comment Requested from DOD.
Civibrief does not map this action to a stage in the process. See the official record.
Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
The latest action on file does not map to a stage Civibrief recognizes, so the page will not name one. The record's own words are the reliable fact here.
The record's latest action, on June 20, 1989: Executive Comment Requested from DOD.
How likely is it to become law?
Civibrief does not forecast outcomes and this page has no opinion about this one. What the record supports is a base rate, which is a fact about the whole pile, not a prediction about this measure.
In the 101st Congress (1989-90), 650 of the 10,323 bills and joint resolutions introduced became law, about 6.3 percent. That count covers every measure at every stage, including the many that never left committee.
This one has no outstanding steps listed above.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.
A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.
Who is behind it?
DAVID SKAGGS (D-CO) introduced it on June 15, 1989, and 1 member has since signed on as a cosponsor.
They are 1 Democrat.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
How long has it been in play?
It was introduced on June 15, 1989, 13602 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 13597 days ago, on June 20, 1989.
Measures do not carry over. Anything the 101st Congress has not finished by January 3, 1991 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
