Evidence

legacy_unverified · Source version not recorded · locator unknown

Congress.gov lists H.R.1914, the CAHOOTS Act, as introduced on 03/16/2021, referred to the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health on 03/17/2021, and remaining at introduced status. The complete cosponsor list has 10 names and does not include Rep. Shontel M. Brown, including after she entered Congress in November 2021.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The specific House CAHOOTS Act did not advance beyond committee referral in the 117th Congress, and Brown is not listed as sponsor or cosponsor despite an added cosponsor in March 2022 after she was in office.

Medicaid.gov states that American Rescue Plan Act section 9813 amended Title XIX to add a state option for qualifying community-based mobile crisis intervention services and authorized CMS funding and planning grants for implementation.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The underlying mobile-crisis Medicaid policy associated with CAHOOTS-style services was implemented through ARP section 9813, but this occurred through a separate law enacted before Brown was sworn in, so it does not show that Brown championed the CAHOOTS Act in Congress.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. same_term

The promised outcome was to champion the federal CAHOOTS Act. The relevant House bill, H.R.1914 in the 117th Congress, remained only introduced/referred and did not pass. Brown entered Congress in November 2021 but is not listed as a sponsor or cosponsor, including after later cosponsor activity in 2022. The related Medicaid mobile-crisis policy was enacted through the American Rescue Plan before Brown was sworn in, so it does not demonstrate delivery of her promise or candidate credit.
