Public state: pending As of 2026-09-20 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. same_term A for effort

Baumgartner committed to work to get H.R. 9621 signed into law before the end of the 119th Congress. Verified evidence shows he introduced the bill and that it was ordered favorably reported by the House Natural Resources Committee, which documents material same-term effort. However, the verified evidence does not show enactment or presidential signature, and the stated deadline had not expired as of 2026-09-20, so the outcome remains unresolved rather than delivered or never.
