Since 1086 and 2998 don't field any programs under the RECF banner (as far as I'm aware...) it's probably difficult for them to give testimony on those programs like they can for FIRST. However, it appears their testimony might be able to bridge some gaps.
In addition, I'm not really familiar with VRC (something I am looking to gain familiarity with before the 2015-2016 competition), but I'm under the impression that VRC doesn't have the same barrier to enter as FRC, or at least not at the same magnitude. Your opinion may be that the barrier to entry for FRC is enough to find VRC a more worthwhile investment of your time, however there are many highly successful FRC/VRC teams that find favors and faults in both.
I'm going to make a wild assumption that legislation is not being drafted, finalized, sent out of committee to the floor, debated, sent back to committee, edited, sent back to the floor, sent to the House and Senate, passed by or amended by the House and Senate, and signed by the governor or otherwise put into law via an override on October 22. I'm sure you could get in contact with 1086 (there are over a half dozen active CD account holders that work on the team) and discuss this with them in a more productive manner than throwing down the gauntlet here, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
