Title II of S. 4943 would require OBF disclosures including payment calculation method, income threshold, APR variation by income, and a comparison table showing obligations at no income, threshold income, and annual incomes from $40,000 through $200,000.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The introduced bill text closely matches the promise to standardize outcome-based financing disclosures and illustrate payment variation across income levels, but it remains proposed legislation rather than an enacted requirement.

Todd Young sponsored S. 4943 in the 119th Congress, and Title II closely matches the promise by proposing standardized outcomes-based financing disclosures and income-level payment illustrations. However, the bill has only been introduced and referred to the Senate Finance Committee, with no passage or enactment shown as of August 24, 2026. Because the promised disclosure requirement is not law or otherwise in force, this is a serious same-term legislative attempt rather than a delivered outcome.
