Evidence

legacy_unverified · Source version not recorded · locator unknown

GovInfo text shows H.R. 10262 was introduced September 3, 2026 by Fletcher for herself and Pfluger and referred to Energy and Commerce. The bill would require the Secretary of Energy to request that the National Petroleum Council submit a Strategic Petroleum Reserve modernization report after enactment.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official bill text directly matches the commitment, but the measure is only introduced/referred as of the recorded action, so the requirement has not yet been enacted.

Pfluger’s office announced that he and Rep. Lizzie Fletcher introduced the 21st Century SPR Act. The release says, if enacted, the bill would require the Secretary of Energy to request a National Petroleum Council public report within one year.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official member release confirms Pfluger took concrete legislative action during the lookback-adjacent period, while also stating the obligation depends on enactment.

Pfluger materially advanced the promised policy in the 119th Congress by joining Rep. Fletcher on H.R. 10262, introduced September 3, 2026, which would require the Secretary of Energy to request a National Petroleum Council report on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. But as of September 7, 2026, the bill had only been introduced and referred to committee, and the requirement would arise only after enactment. The promised requirement has therefore not been delivered, though the legislative effort merits an effort badge.
