Seeing none, the question now occurs on forwarding H.R. 10170 to the full committee. All those in favor, say aye. Those opposed, say no. Okay, the ayes have it and the bill is agreed to and forwarded to the full committee.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The official markup transcript shows H.R. 10170 was forwarded from subcommittee to the full committee, but this still leaves the bill short of House passage, Senate passage, and enactment.

Public state: pending As of 2026-09-14 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. same_term A for effort

The verified commitment and evidence show Soto was named in the introduction of H.R. 10170, a bill to require a Commerce Department study on advanced memory technology, and that the bill was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. The verified passage does not show enactment or that the Secretary of Commerce was actually required to conduct the study. With no documented expired deadline, introduction and referral count as effort but not delivery or partial outcome.
