Evidence

unverified · Source version 66241 · locator unknown

GovInfo lists H.R. 9512 as introduced in the House on June 29, 2026, with the action: Mr. Gallagher introduced the bill; it was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources. The full title reauthorizes water storage, authorizes Sacramento River Basin environmental restoration and recovery, supports public benefits of state-led storage projects, establishes a federal leadership committee, and addresses drought resilience and dam safety investments.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Gallagher took concrete action by introducing the named bill, and the bill text matches the promise's water storage, river restoration, and basin protection themes. The official status still shows only introduction and committee referral, so the underlying policy has not yet been enacted.

The introduced bill would extend the WIIN Act water storage program, authorize federal contributions for public benefits of state-led water storage projects, authorize $500,000,000 for Sacramento River Basin restoration and recovery activities in fiscal years 2028 through 2037, and establish a Sacramento River Basin Integrated Water Management Federal Leadership Committee after enactment.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The statutory text is aligned with the commitment, but these provisions are drafted as prospective authorities that depend on enactment. There was no concrete official sign in the August 28-30, 2026 lookback window that H.R. 9512 had passed, been enacted, or otherwise delivered the policy outcomes.

Gallagher introduced H.R. 9512 on June 29, 2026, and the bill's text directly addresses the promised Sacramento River Basin storage, restoration, drought resilience, and federal coordination measures. However, the available official status shows only introduction and referral to the House Natural Resources Committee, with no enactment or implemented policy outcome. This is a serious same-term legislative effort, but the promised outcome has not been delivered.
