Senator Britt... is a proud cosponsor of the Federal Carjacking Enforcement Act, legislation to reduce juvenile crime and crack down on carjacking by removing barriers to bringing federal prosecutions. Both bills now head to the floor for a vote before the full Senate.

The release identifies Britt as a cosponsor of the Federal Carjacking Enforcement Act and frames the bill as one of her legislative priorities headed to the Senate floor.

Evidence

Senate Alabama 118th-119th (2023-Present). Member Activity: Sponsored Legislation [48]; Cosponsored Legislation (All) [633].

Official Congress.gov member activity establishes Britt's relevant federal service and activity inventory. A review of the Congress.gov member-activity pages found no carjacking or Federal Carjacking Enforcement Act item tied to Britt as sponsor or cosponsor.

Section 2119 still includes: "with the intent to cause death or serious bodily harm."

The official U.S. Code text for the federal carjacking statute still contains the intent element and shows amendments only through 1996, so this source does not show enactment of a newer Federal Carjacking Enforcement Act change.

Section 5032 addresses "Delinquency proceedings in district courts; transfer for criminal prosecution."

The official juvenile-transfer statute still requires federal certification and transfer procedures. The text reviewed does not show a carjacking-specific statutory amendment removing barriers to federal juvenile prosecutions.

Assessments

never unknown

The promised federal carjacking changes have not been enacted: the federal carjacking statute still retains the intent element, and the juvenile-transfer statute still retains the relevant federal certification and transfer barriers. The provided Congress.gov review also found no Federal Carjacking Enforcement Act item tied to Katie Britt as sponsor or cosponsor, so there is not enough evidence of a serious legislative attempt by her to merit an effort badge.
