The verified commitment says Alford's bipartisan 504 Program Level Flexibility Act was introduced with Rep. Simon and passed the House Small Business Committee. Verified evidence confirms the bill would give SBA additional flexibility for 504-loan demand and that H.R. 10352 was ordered reported by the committee. Because the claim is to support legislation, not to secure enactment of the final SBA outcome, introducing and materially advancing the bill fulfills the action commitment. There is no verified evidence of enactment, so this does not prove the broader policy outcome became law.
