HSGAC listed S. 3226, Bring Our Heroes Home Act, as ordered reported favorably by voice vote.
Assessments
The promised outcome was enactment of the Bring Our Heroes Home Act. Crapo sponsored S.3226 with Shaheen, secured committee advancement on August 6, 2026, and continued public advocacy through August 21, 2026, including the bill's NARA records collection, agency-transfer, and independent review-board provisions. But the bill had not passed both chambers or been signed into law as of August 24, 2026, so the substantive promised outcome was not delivered despite a serious same-term legislative effort.
