Evidence

Husted's Senate office says he and Sens. Chris Coons, Bill Cassidy, and Chris Murphy introduced the Stopping Illegal Minor Simulations (SIMS) Act, establishing criminal and civil penalties for people who own or operate sexually explicit child-simulating chatbots and criminalizing design of such chatbots.

Official Senate release in the lookback window shows Husted co-led introduction of the SIMS Act and publicly endorsed its penalties, directly satisfying the commitment to support the bill.

Assessments

Husted fulfilled the promise in federal office by co-introducing and publicly supporting the Stopping Illegal Minor Simulations (SIMS) Act during his current Senate term. The claim was framed as supporting the Act, not necessarily securing enactment, so Senate introduction and sponsorship materially satisfy the promised action.
