Congress.gov lists Rep. Vern Buchanan as the sponsor, says H.R. 6130 has the status "Introduced," and gives the latest House action as referral on 11/19/2025 to Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means. The tracker still shows later steps as Passed House, Passed Senate, To President, and Became Law.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official legislative status shows Buchanan introduced the ASAP Act, but it had not passed the House, Senate, gone to the President, or become law as of the cited Congress.gov record.

Buchanan's office said the ASAP Act "currently has nearly 200 cosponsors" and "would provide a pathway for Medicare coverage of blood-based biomarker screening tests"; it also described advocates calling on Congress to "get the bill across the finish line."

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): A recent official Buchanan statement shows continued advocacy and substantial cosponsor support, but frames the bill as still needing congressional passage rather than already enacted.

The promised outcome is passage of the ASAP Act and Medicare coverage pathway for blood-based dementia screening tests. Buchanan sponsored H.R. 6130 in the 119th Congress, and the bill has substantial cosponsor and advocacy support, but the official legislative status remains Introduced/referred to committee, with no House passage, Senate passage, presentment, or enactment. Because Buchanan is still in federal office and the Congress is ongoing, this is not a failed promise yet; it remains pending with clear effort.
