Mr. Tran introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): Official bill metadata shows Tran introduced H.R. 10613 and it was referred to Ways and Means. That is concrete legislative effort, but the record does not show enactment, so the promise remains unresolved.

The credit allowed under subsection (a) for any taxable year shall not exceed $4,000.

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): The introduced bill text creates a renter tax credit and caps the credit at $4,000, matching the commitment's core policy design. Because it is still only introduced/referred, this supports unresolved status with effort.

Assessments

Public state: pending As of 2026-10-12 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. same_term A for effort

Tran materially advanced the COST Act by introducing H.R. 10613, and the bill text contains the promised renter tax credit capped at $4,000. However, the verified evidence shows only introduction/referral and bill language, not enactment or actual delivery of financial support to renters. Because this was an outcome promise rather than merely a promise to introduce a bill, the result remains unresolved as of 2026-10-12.
