The promise was to support legislation requiring CBO and JCT cost estimates to include costs related to servicing the public debt. During Begich's current House term, H.R. 10327, the Cost Estimates Improvement Act, was introduced with Begich listed as an original cosponsor, and its text matches the promised policy. Because the commitment was to support legislation rather than secure enactment, cosponsorship of matching legislation is enough to count as delivered, even though the bill had only been referred to committee as of September 10, 2026.
