Assessments
The verified commitment was to allow regular access to Livestock Mandatory Reporting Data. Verified evidence shows Scanlon introduced H.R. 10506 containing that objective and that it was referred to the House Agriculture Committee, but there is no verified evidence that the access was enacted or otherwise implemented by the as_of_date. Introduction of the bill supports an effort badge, but does not fulfill an outcome promise.
