Evidence

Current reporting says the SAVE America Act has passed the House but remains stalled in the Senate, where filibuster math and insufficient support have prevented final passage.

Within the June 7-July 6 lookback window, no final enactment is reported; the commitment remains unresolved despite continued pressure to pass the bill.

Congress.gov lists H.R.22 as sponsored by Rep. Chip Roy, passed by the House 220-208 on April 10, 2025, and received in the Senate the same day. Its tracker status is Passed House, with Passed Senate, To President, and Became Law still not completed.

The House version advanced, but Congress.gov does not show Senate passage or enactment, so the promised federal passage is incomplete.

Congress.gov lists Sen. Banks, Jim [R-IN] as a cosponsor of S.128 on April 9, 2025.

Banks took concrete legislative action in the Senate by cosponsoring the SAVE Act, but cosponsorship alone did not deliver final passage.

Congress.gov records the July 10, 2024 House passage vote on H.R.8281 as 221-198 and lists Rep. Jim Banks [R-IN] voting Aye.

Before entering the Senate, Banks voted for an earlier SAVE Act version that passed the House, showing concrete effort but not final federal enactment.

Congress.gov lists H.R.8281 as Passed House, with latest action on July 23, 2024: read the second time and placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar. The CRS summary says the bill required documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.

The prior Congress's SAVE Act attempt advanced through the House and then stopped in the Senate, so it did not satisfy the promise to pass the act into law.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

The SAVE Act has not become federal law: the 119th Congress House bill passed the House but has not passed the Senate, and the Senate companion remains introduced/referred rather than enacted. Banks did take concrete same-term legislative action by cosponsoring S.128 in the Senate, and he previously voted for a House version in the 118th Congress, so he deserves an effort badge. But the promised outcome was passage of the act, and that has not been delivered as of July 6, 2026.
