Rick Scott materially advanced the promise in the relevant federal office context by introducing S. 4674, the DUMP Red Tape Act, in the Senate during his current term. However, the evidence shows the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, while the House companion passed the House but had not passed the Senate or been enacted. Because the 119th Congress was still ongoing as of the evidence window, the promised outcome was not yet delivered but remained pending rather than definitively failed.
