GovInfo lists H.R. 10164 as introduced by Rep. Robert E. Latta on August 27, 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. The bill text directs Commerce to promote U.S. biomanufacturing competitiveness, identify supply-chain and commercialization vulnerabilities, and improve transparency around federal processes for biomanufactured products.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Latta has taken concrete legislative action by introducing the BEDROCK Act with Dingell, and the introduced text matches the commitment's federal leadership, supply-chain assessment, action-plan, and commercialization-pathway elements. The record shows introduction/referral, not passage or enactment, so the commitment is only partially advanced as of September 5, 2026.

The National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology's September 2026 newsletter says H.R. 10164 was introduced August 27 in the House, names Bob Latta and Debbie Dingell as House sponsors, and says it would require Commerce to assess supply-chain inputs, commercialization barriers, and reliance on foreign adversaries.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): A legislative-branch advisory commission recognized the bill in the current lookback period and tied it to its biotechnology recommendations, reinforcing that Latta's action is a serious effort. It does not show enactment, agency implementation, or later legislative movement beyond introduction.

Latta introduced H.R. 10164, the BEDROCK Act, on August 27, 2026, and the bill text appears to match the promised federal leadership, supply-chain assessment, action-plan, and commercialization-pathway elements. But as of September 5, 2026, the record only shows introduction and committee referral, not passage, enactment, or implementation of the promised policy outcome. This is a serious same-term legislative attempt, so it earns an effort badge but is not fulfilled.
