The verified commitment is to require VA to establish the grant program, which requires enactment or implementation. Verified evidence shows Hurd introduced H.R. 10758 and it was referred to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, and the bill text matches the promised VA grant program. But the evidence describes the bill prospectively as something that would establish the program, with no verified passage showing passage, enactment, or VA implementation as of 2026-10-12. Hurd's introduction is material effort, but introduction alone does not fulfill an enactment/outcome promise.
