The verified commitment promised an enacted outcome: permanent authorization and strengthening of EPA's Safer Choice Program. Verified evidence shows Peters introduced H.R. 10591 and that the related Senate bill was introduced, referred to committee, and contained authorization language. However, the verified record does not show enactment or permanent statutory authorization by the as_of_date, and there is no documented deadline that has expired. Introduction and referral support effort, not delivery of the promised outcome.
