sponsor information is being dropped from 114th bills on congress.gov/fdsys xml

[wcarter]

For example:

https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/3205

Sponsor: No Sponsor (Introduced 07/13/2016)

We have found about 20 bills with this condition thus far.

Thank you for reporting this.

Sponsor: Sen. Lee, Mike [R-UT] (Introduced 07/13/2016) https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/3205

Are there others that are missing sponsor information?

These have been corrected and reprocessed. Confirming that the data flowed through correctly prior to closing the ticket.

Looks like there are 36 bills in the 115th Congress now showing the same problem.

90 bills in the 114th are missing sponsor info now.

We're down to 2 bills in the 114th that are missing sponsor info:

Thanks, all good! (This is the first time since the 115th Congress began that I've been able to do a complete parse of the 114th Congress.)

There are (suddenly) 28 bills in the 115th Congress with this same problem. It's also missing on Congress.gov:

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/135 https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/bulkdata/BILLSTATUS/115/s/BILLSTATUS-115s135.xml
