Let me quote the revelant paragraph:
"(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con5
gress that—
6 (1) the Supreme Court’s recent jurisprudence
7 concerning subject matter patentability has harmed
8 the progress of science and the useful arts;
9 (2) the United States patent system must pro10
tect and encourage research and development in
11 such scientific disciplines as would promote the
12 progress of science and the useful arts by securing
13 for limited times to inventors the exclusive rights to
14 their discoveries and provide scientists in the life
15 sciences, computer sciences, and other disciplines,
16 with certainty that their discoveries and inventions
17 are entitled to patent protection; and
18 (3) this amendment effectively abrogates Alice
19 Corp. v. CLS Bank International, 134 S. Ct. 2347
20 (2014) and its predecessors to ensure that life
21 sciences discoveries, computer software, and similar
22 inventions and discoveries are patentable, and that
23 those patents are enforceable. "
