See https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/bulkdata/BILLSTATUS/113/sconres/BILLSTATUS-113sconres8.xml
It has duplicate fields for the first listed amendment, including:
type, purpose, congress and description

@aih Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Source data from the Library of Congress provides amendment type, purpose, congress, and description in two different places. We updated our processing to only include from one place instead of from both places. The file you referenced in the issue https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/bulkdata/BILLSTATUS/113/sconres/BILLSTATUS-113sconres8.xml has been reprocessed and updated.

This morning we had to revert this change because it introduced a bug. I am reopening this issue.

Maybe continue to check both sources and perform a duplicate check before updating billstatus? It's not highest priority, since the data is not incorrect, just redundant.
