Congress.gov says H.R.8404 became Public Law No. 117-228 on 12/13/2022. The summary says the act provides statutory authority for same-sex and interracial marriages and bars denial of full faith and credit for out-of-state marriages on listed bases.

A Dingell-supported LGBTQ-related equality protection became law, but it addressed marriage recognition rather than the broader Equality Act nondiscrimination framework.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Dingell has materially supported the promise in federal office: she cosponsored the Equality Act in the current 119th Congress, cosponsored earlier Equality Act bills, and voted for House passage in 2021. She also voted for the Respect for Marriage Act, an LGBTQ-related equality measure that became law. However, the core Equality Act nondiscrimination framework has not been enacted; the current H.R.15 remains introduced/referred rather than passed into law. That makes the promise partially fulfilled through clear same-term support and related protections, but not fully delivered as a broad statutory Equality Act outcome.
