Assessments
The promise is to convene a specific Senate Commerce Committee executive session on September 16, 2026, including the JAWBONE Act and the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act of 2026. As of September 12, 2026, official notices show Cruz, as committee chair, scheduled that exact session with both bills on the agenda, but the meeting date has not yet occurred, so fulfillment cannot be confirmed. This is a serious official step toward delivery in the same Senate term, but the outcome remains pending.
