Assessments

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

The verified bill text would require USPS to designate a unique ZIP Code only after enactment, but the verified status evidence shows legislative progress rather than enactment: related ZIP Code legislation passed the House and was received/referred in the Senate. Because the promised outcome was enactment/ZIP Code designation, not merely introduction or House passage, and no deadline has expired, the outcome remains unresolved. Diaz-Balart is materially tied to the commitment as the sponsor/context candidate, so effort is credited but delivery is not.
