The verified evidence shows Bilirakis introduced H.R. 10532 and it was referred to committee, which is material candidate action toward the commitment. However, the commitment is to require the humane transfer of certain retired research dogs and cats, and the verified evidence does not show enactment or implementation of that requirement. With no documented expired deadline as of 2026-10-12, introduction alone is effort, not delivery.
