Titus's office said she helped pass the Build America 250 Act in committee and listed one of her championed provisions as "Protecting Horses (H.R.1661): prevents the transport of equines for slaughter for human consumption."

Current 7 U.S.C. 2160 prohibits knowingly slaughtering, shipping, transporting, moving, delivering, receiving, possessing, purchasing, selling, or donating a dog or cat for slaughter for human consumption; the listed current text does not include equines.
Assessments
The promised federal outcome was a nationwide prohibition on transporting horses and other equines for slaughter for human consumption. Titus materially advanced the policy during the same congressional term by backing a provision reported out of committee in the Build America 250 Act, but the evidence shows the prohibition had not been enacted into current federal law. Because there was a serious legislative attempt without final delivery of the promised legal ban, this counts as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
