Assessments
Gallagher introduced H.R. 9512, and the verified bill text includes the promised $500,000,000 authorization for fiscal years 2028 through 2037 for Sacramento River habitat restoration and related endangered-species recovery activities. However, the verified passages show only introduction and committee referral, and the bill text states the relevant section takes effect on enactment. Because the promise is to authorize the funding outcome, not merely introduce a bill, and no verified evidence shows enactment as of 2026-09-23, the outcome remains unresolved while qualifying for an effort badge.
