The Senate recorded cloture on the motion to proceed to S. 4784 as rejected, 50-46; Duckworth voted Nay. S. 4784 was the FY2027 NDAA vehicle carrying the provision.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): As of the latest concrete official floor action found, the Senate had not advanced S. 4784 to final passage, so the commitment remains unresolved/not delivered as law despite committee inclusion.

Duckworth materially advanced the specific proposal in the FY2027 NDAA through the Senate Armed Services Committee in June 2026, which satisfies the effort component of the promise. However, as of August 24, 2026, the FY2027 NDAA vehicle had not passed the Senate or become law; the latest concrete status showed failed cloture on July 14, 2026 and later procedural activity without enactment. Because the relevant Congress and her Senate term are still ongoing, this is not a final failure or full delivery yet.
