GovInfo lists S. 4889 in the 119th Congress as introduced in Senate. The last listed action is June 24, 2026: Sen. Kaine introduced the bill and it was read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): No new lookback-window action was found; the official bill record still shows the bill introduced and referred to HELP, with no full Senate vote on S. 4889 recorded.

Kaine's office said the Senate passed the Older Americans Act reauthorization and that Kaine secured a Direct Care Workforce Training provision from his Supporting Our Direct Care Workforce and Family Caregivers Act to codify an ACL technical assistance center and expand it to family caregivers.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is concrete partial progress: a related direct-care provision reached and passed the Senate within the Older Americans Act package, but the full Supporting Our Direct Care Workforce and Family Caregivers Act itself did not receive a Senate vote.

Kaine materially advanced the policy in the same Senate term by introducing S. 4889 and securing a related Direct Care Workforce Training provision in the Senate-passed Older Americans Act reauthorization. However, the specific promised outcome was to bring the Supporting Our Direct Care Workforce and Family Caregivers Act itself before the full Senate for a vote, and the bill record still shows S. 4889 referred to the HELP Committee with no full Senate vote. This warrants partial credit, not full delivery.
