GovInfo lists S. 5287, the Colorectal Cancer Early Detection Act, as introduced in the 119th Congress on August 6, 2026. The action states that Mr. Ossoff introduced the bill for himself and Mrs. Britt, and that it was read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. The full title authorizes CDC grants to states to increase colorectal cancer awareness and education and improve early detection in young individuals.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official bill record shows Britt was included at introduction on the Senate Colorectal Cancer Early Detection Act, whose stated purpose matches the commitment; the bill had been referred to committee, so this proves support rather than enactment of the underlying grant program.

Britt fulfilled the promise as worded because it was a commitment to support the Colorectal Cancer Early Detection Act, not necessarily to secure enactment of the grant program. During her current Senate term, S. 5287 was introduced on August 6, 2026 by Sen. Ossoff for himself and Britt, and Britt's Senate office publicly announced she was introducing the bipartisan legislation. The bill's stated mechanisms match the promise: CDC funding to states for screening, public awareness and education, and support for health care professionals. As of the available record, the bill had only been referred to committee, so this would not prove the underlying program was enacted; however, it is enough to satisfy the narrower promise to support the Act.
