Evidence

GovInfo lists S. 2499, the SAFE DATA Act, as introduced by Roger Wicker for himself and Marsha Blackburn on July 28, 2021, then read twice and referred to the Senate Commerce Committee. The bill's full title was to establish data privacy and data security protections for consumers in the United States.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Blackburn took concrete same-term legislative action toward a national data privacy framework by co-introducing the SAFE DATA Act, but the official action shown was referral to committee, not enactment.

GovInfo records a 119th Congress Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing, held July 30, 2025, titled Protecting the Virtual You: Safeguarding Americans' Online Data, with Marsha Blackburn listed among members and the Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law identified.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): After the original Senate term, Blackburn continued using her federal office to advance hearings on online data privacy. This supports ongoing effort, while also indicating the comprehensive national framework remained a legislative project rather than an enacted federal standard.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. unknown A for effort

Blackburn materially worked toward the goal by co-introducing the SAFE DATA Act in 2021 and participating in later Senate privacy oversight activity, but the evidence shows the bill only reached committee and that a comprehensive national data privacy framework had not been enacted. Because the promised substantive outcome was not established, this is a failed delivery with a serious effort badge rather than full or partial delivery.
