Assessments

Public state: pending As of 2026-10-07 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown A for effort

The verified commitment is an outcome promise to raise and inflation-index federal capital loss deduction limits. Verified passages show Norman's legislation contains the promised $14,250 and $7,125 amounts and inflation adjustment, but the only verified status evidence says the bill is introduced only and has not passed any vote. Because introduction is effort, not enactment of the promised tax-law outcome, and no deadline has expired as of 2026-10-07, the correct status is unresolved rather than delivered or never.
