The promise was to support the 9-8-8 Call Center Improvement Act, not necessarily to secure enactment. The official bill text shows H.R. 10295 was introduced on September 3, 2026 for Rep. Trahan and Mr. Bacon, and the bill contains the promised HHS grant authorization for regional and local crisis call centers, including technology, training, operations, hiring, and $441 million for fiscal year 2027. Because Bacon was listed as an original supporter of the exact bill during his current House term, the support promise was fulfilled in the same term, even though the bill had only been referred to committee and was not enacted in the cited record.
