Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof.

No new official delivery action was found in the 2026-09-13 to 2026-09-15 lookback.

Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this section, the Supreme Court of the United States shall ... issue a code of conduct for the justices of the Supreme Court.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The introduced bill text directly matches the commitment by requiring the Supreme Court to issue a code of conduct for justices after enactment. Because the cited record is introduced bill text rather than enacted law, this is concrete effort but not delivery.
