The commitment was to support and advance the Integrated Local, Regional, and Interregional Transmission Planning Act, not necessarily to secure enactment. Verified evidence identifies the bill by title, confirms its transmission-planning substance, and states that Kathy Castor was an original cosponsor. Original cosponsorship is a material candidate contribution to supporting and advancing the legislation in the same congressional term. There is no verified evidence that the broader grid-improvement policy outcome was enacted, but enactment was not the exact committed action here.
