Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall establish a pilot program, to be known as the ``Domestic Critical Material Processing Pilot Program'', to support not fewer than 3 domestic critical material processing projects.

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): The bill would require DOE to establish the pilot only after enactment. Because the official status is introduction and referral, the commitment remains unresolved.

Assessments

Public state: pending As of 2026-09-25 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. same_term A for effort

Verified evidence shows McCollum introduced H.R. 10395, which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and the bill text would require creation of the Domestic Critical Material Processing Pilot Program only after enactment. The verified passages do not show enactment or implementation of the pilot program, so the promised outcome is not delivered or partially delivered. The introduction is material candidate effort, but an attempt without enactment remains unresolved.
