The promise describes an enacted federal prohibition and penalty regime. Malliotakis introduced H.R. 9771 in the 119th Congress, and the House Ways and Means Committee reported it favorably on July 22, 2026, which is a serious legislative attempt and closely matches the promised policy. However, the evidence does not show House passage, Senate passage, presidential signature, or enactment into law by the adjudication date, so the promised outcome has not been delivered.
