Did some research. Congress referred this legislation on 03/07/2019 to the Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Commerce. Apparently the head of that subcommittee, Senator Maria Cantwell (D - Washington) has decided to just not act on it. There it sits collecting dust. Why should this one person decide to ignore what most of the country wants?

BTW - I did send a message via her website and received this response:

"Thank you for taking the time to contact my office. I appreciate hearing from you about the important issues facing our nation, and will certainly keep your views in mind as I work with my colleagues in the Senate. Due to the high volume of incoming emails, I am only able to respond to inquiries from constituents in Washington State . . . and I thank you again for taking the time to write."

I do hope at least someone read it.
