Assessments

Public state: pending As of 2026-10-05 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown A for effort

The verified evidence shows Stauber introduced H.R. 10637 and it was referred to the House Administration Committee, with bill text matching the promised reporting, privacy, and 22-month public-availability provisions. However, the commitment is to require states/EAC public reporting, not merely to introduce a bill, and the verified evidence does not show enactment or implementation as of 2026-10-05. With no documented deadline expired, this remains unresolved, while Stauber's introduction supports an effort badge and material attribution for the attempt.
