GovInfo lists Mrs. McClain Delaney among the cosponsors of H.R. 18, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2025, whose full title is 'To require a background check for every firearm sale.'

As a Member of Congress, she took concrete action aligned with the promise by cosponsoring the universal background checks bill, though it was only introduced and not enacted.

The official title of H.R. 18 is 'To require a background check for every firearm sale,' and the bill remained in introduced status.

This confirms the bill April McClain Delaney cosponsored was the universal background checks bill and that it did not advance beyond introduction.

The promise was to support universal background checks for gun purchases, not necessarily to secure enactment. In her same congressional term, McClain Delaney cosponsored H.R. 18, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2025, a bill to require background checks for every firearm sale. Although the bill was not enacted, her concrete legislative support satisfies the stated promise.
