The verified commitment is to support the Cabin Air Safety Act and its cabin-air safety provisions, not to enact the bill. Verified evidence shows Garamendi introduced the legislation in the House, which is a material act of support in the same 2026 federal legislative context. No verified enacted-law evidence is needed to satisfy this narrower support/introduce commitment.
