Today, the House took an important step toward giving federal law enforcement the tools they need to go after the criminals producing and distributing these deadly counterfeit pills. The Stop Pills That Kill Act strengthens penalties, improves our ability to track these drugs, and requires a comprehensive strategy to help law enforcement get them off our streets before another family loses a loved one. I’m proud to see this legislation pass the House, and I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line.

After House passage of his Stop Pills That Kill Act, Evans pledged to keep fighting to get the bill across the finish line.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. same_term A for effort

As of August 12, 2026, the promised outcome, final House passage of the Stop Pills That Kill Act, has not been shown to have occurred. Evans did materially advance the measure in the same federal House term by introducing H.R. 8005 on March 19, 2026, and the bill later advanced out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee toward the full House. Because the House passage vote remains pending rather than completed or finally failed, the correct adjudication is unresolved with an effort badge.
