Rep. Moran's office announced that Moran and Rep. Mike Kelly introduced the American Shipyard Investment Act. The release says the bill establishes a new ITC for construction or expansion of qualifying U.S. shipyards: 25 percent generally and 35 percent for federally designated Opportunity Zones, applying to qualifying property placed in service through December 31, 2033.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Moran publicly backed and led the specific legislation, and his official release describes the same tax-credit structure in the promise. No newer official action found in the August 20-22 lookback window changes that status.

Moran fulfilled the promise because the commitment was to support the American Shipyard Investment Act, and he materially advanced the exact measure by introducing H.R. 9921 on July 23, 2026 while serving in the same federal House term. The bill text matches the promised policy: a 25% investment tax credit for qualifying U.S. shipyard construction or expansion, a 35% credit for Opportunity Zone facilities, and eligibility for qualifying property placed in service through December 31, 2033. The evidence does not show enactment, but enactment was not the stated promise.
