Assessments

Public state: pending As of 2026-10-18 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown A for effort

Verified passages establish that Clarke introduced the bill and that it proposes a 15% distributed-generation credit requirement for 2027–2030. Introduction demonstrates attributable effort but does not fulfill this outcome commitment. The passages do not establish enactment or implementation, and the promised 2027 start remains in the future as of October 18, 2026.
