Assessments
The verified commitment promised continued work to get WRDA 2026 signed into law and deliver Central Coast water infrastructure investments. The only verified passage shows the House had passed a bill with more than $66 million for Central Coast water projects, but it still needed Senate final passage, so enactment and final delivery were not established as of 2026-09-23. With no deadline expired and only effort/House advancement documented, the outcome remains unresolved rather than delivered or partial.
