Skeet, one tip off about a bill that's being backed by most of one party or the other, is co sponsors. If a bill has a chance to actually get through Congress and become law, a lot of politicians are going to want to take credit for it. Thus, bills that are actually going to get some action, and maybe pass, will always have several co sponsors.
HR45 has none.
The real purpose of a bill like HR45 is as a fundraiser, by both the 'for's' and the 'anti's' .
Each side will be hammering their constituency for money.
"help pass such and such- send money" or "send money so we can fight this bill".
