The Senate rejected cloture on the motion to proceed to S. 4784, 50-46; Ernst voted Yea.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The provision remained unresolved because the Senate failed to advance the FY2027 NDAA on July 14, 2026. Ernst supported moving the bill forward, so effort is clear despite non-delivery.

Ernst materially advanced the promise by securing a sex-neutral occupational performance standards provision in the Senate Armed Services Committee version of the FY2027 NDAA and voting to advance the bill. However, as of September 10, 2026, the FY2027 NDAA provision had not been enacted: Senate cloture on the motion to proceed failed on July 14, 2026, and later activity remained procedural rather than final passage or signature into law. Because the promised outcome was codification, committee inclusion and floor support show serious effort but not delivery.
