H.R. 10252, introduced by Ms. Bynum, is titled the Launching with Healthcare Act and would amend Public Health Service Act section 2714(a) by striking 26 and inserting 31; the introduced bill was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Bynum introduced bill text that directly matches the commitment by amending the Public Health Service Act to expand dependent coverage from age 26 to 31, but referral to committee means it has not become law yet.

Rep. Bynum's office announced that she and Rep. Maxwell Frost introduced the Launching with Healthcare Act to allow young adults to remain on a parent’s health insurance plan through age 30 by increasing the maximum age for required dependent coverage from 26 to 31.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official office statement confirms Bynum’s intent and sponsorship of the matching legislation; it describes introduction, not enactment, so the policy outcome remains incomplete.

Bynum introduced H.R. 10252, the Launching with Healthcare Act, during her current House term. The bill directly matches the promise by amending Public Health Service Act dependent coverage from age 26 to 31, but its latest action is only referral to the House Energy and Commerce Committee on September 3, 2026. Because the promised coverage expansion has not been enacted, this is a serious same-term legislative attempt rather than fulfilled delivery.
