Good afternoon,

That bill and others have been updated in the govinfo sitemaps. It looks like there were a large number of other packages queued up for sitemaps updates before the bulkdata ones were completed.

Please let us know if you see any other issues.

Just a note that you can also use the govinfo API to get a list of the most recently updated BILLSTATUS files.

https://api.govinfo.gov/collections/BILLSTATUS/2019-09-03T00:00:00Z?offset=0&pageSize=100&api_key=DEMO_KEY

you can also limit this by congress.

More information available at: https://api.govinfo.gov/docs

The bulkdata sitemaps are more straight-forward from a content retrieval perspective, since the xml link is directly on the page.
