GovInfo lists H.R. 9442 as introduced by Rep. Ocasio-Cortez on June 24, 2026 and referred to House Energy and Commerce and Foreign Affairs, with no later action listed.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official bill-status record shows Ocasio-Cortez took concrete legislative action in the current House term, but the measure remains only introduced/referred, so the export ban has not been enacted as of the refresh.

Section 4 would direct Commerce to prohibit exports, reexports, or in-country transfers of computing infrastructure hardware for AI data centers or large-scale AI training in countries lacking comparable laws.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The introduced bill text directly matches the commitment's export-ban concept, including safety/environmental-law comparability, but because it is introduced text rather than enacted law it supports an unresolved status with serious effort.

Ocasio-Cortez introduced H.R. 9442, the Artificial Intelligence Data Center Moratorium Act, on June 24, 2026. Its Section 4 appears to directly pursue the promised export prohibition for AI computing infrastructure in countries lacking comparable safety and environmental laws. However, the bill remains introduced and referred to House committees, with no evidence that the export ban has passed Congress or taken effect. Because she is still in federal office and the measure is pending rather than defeated or expired, the promise is not delivered yet but remains unresolved with serious legislative effort.
