GovInfo lists H.R. 9957, the Time for Completion Act, as introduced July 27, 2026 by Rep. Jahana Hayes with Rep. Mike Kennedy of Utah, and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. The title is to amend the Higher Education Act to provide comprehensive student achievement information.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Kennedy took concrete same-term legislative action by joining introduction of a bill aimed at expanded student achievement reporting, but the official latest action remains committee referral, so there is no evidence of enactment in the Aug. 20-22 lookback.

Kennedy's office says he and Hayes introduced the Time for Completion Act to make community colleges report graduation rates more accurately. The release says the bill expands reporting to all student populations, including part-time and returning students and students with disabilities.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The office statement directly links Kennedy to a bill matching the promise's part-time, returning, and disabled-student reporting language, but it describes introduction rather than final legal implementation.

Kennedy took a concrete same-term legislative step by joining the introduction of the Time for Completion Act, which matches the promised reporting expansion for part-time, returning, and disabled students. But the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, with no evidence that the reporting requirement became law or was otherwise implemented. Under the rule for serious but unsuccessful legislative attempts, this is not delivered, with effort credit.
