The introduced bill text creates OBF consumer protections and includes a prohibition on acceleration for outcomes-based payment agreements after delinquency or default, with a narrower exception for outcomes-based loans after at least 180 days of missed required payments.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The text matches the commitment’s substance, so Young has introduced legislation to implement the promised rule; because it is only introduced and referred, the protection has not been delivered as law.

Todd Young introduced S. 4943 in the 119th Congress, and the bill text appears to include the promised prohibition on acceleration after delinquency or default with the stated limited exception for outcomes-based loans. However, the evidence shows the bill was only read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Finance on June 24, 2026, with no enactment or completed federal policy outcome. This is a serious same-term legislative attempt, but the promised protection has not been delivered as law.
