Fields announced H.R. 9511, the NFIP Premium Transparency Act. The release says FEMA would have to build a public online tool within 36 months to model mitigation effects on flood risk and insurance costs.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Fields took concrete legislative action directly aligned with the commitment by introducing a bill requiring the FEMA/NFIP online tool, but the release describes a proposed requirement contingent on enactment, not a delivered tool.

Fields directly attempted to fulfill the promise by sponsoring H.R. 9511, the NFIP Premium Transparency Act, which would require FEMA to create the promised public NFIP mitigation and insurance-cost modeling tool. However, as of September 1, 2026, the bill had only been introduced and referred to the House Committee on Financial Services, with no enactment, binding FEMA requirement, or implemented public tool. This is a serious same-term legislative effort, but the promised outcome has not been delivered.
