Evidence

H.R. 10135 was introduced by Mr. Thompson of Pennsylvania and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. Section 2 says the Federal Government may not exercise eminent domain over agricultural land if a feasible alternative is available.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official bill text matches the commitment's substance, but it is only an introduced House bill, so the promised prohibition has not become law.

The September 4 report says Thompson introduced the Not In My Barnyard Act, which would prohibit federal eminent-domain proceedings on agricultural land when a feasible alternative site exists.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Within the lookback window, reporting confirms the new bill and notes supporters still aim to get it signed into law, indicating action but not final delivery.

Thompson introduced H.R. 10135, the Not In My Barn Yard Act, in the 119th Congress, and the bill text matches the promised prohibition on federal eminent-domain proceedings over agricultural land when a feasible alternative site exists. But the bill has only been introduced and referred to the House Judiciary Committee; it has not passed Congress or become law. That is a serious legislative attempt in the same federal term, but not delivery of the promised federal prohibition.
