GovInfo lists H.R. 10252 as introduced in the House on September 3, 2026, with Christopher R. Deluzio among the cosponsors. The bill's full title is to amend the Public Health Service Act to expand coverage for adult children. Its listed action is referral to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. The bill text would amend 42 U.S.C. 300gg-14(a) by replacing age 26 with 31 for plan years beginning after December 31, 2026.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Deluzio took concrete same-term legislative action by cosponsoring a bill that directly matches the promise, but the official status shows only introduction and committee referral, not enactment.

The preliminary U.S. Code text for 42 U.S.C. 300gg-14, laws in effect on August 28, 2026, states that plans offering dependent coverage must make it available until an adult child turns 26 years of age.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The statutory dependent-coverage age limit had not yet been expanded in the official U.S. Code shortly before H.R. 10252 was introduced, reinforcing that the promise was not delivered as enacted law as of this refresh.

Deluzio cosponsored H.R. 10252 in the 119th Congress, a same-term bill that directly sought to amend the Public Health Service Act by raising dependent coverage from age 26 to 31. However, the evidence shows only introduction and committee referral, with no enactment or statutory amendment. This is a serious legislative attempt but not fulfillment of the promised outcome.
