H.R. 524, sponsored by Rouzer, passed the House on April 11, 2024 after being introduced on January 25, 2023. Congress.gov shows the bill was received in the Senate on April 15, 2024 and referred to committee, with no enactment shown in the record cited here.

Rouzer advanced a concrete bill for beach nourishment-related coastal borrow sites, but it did not become law by the latest recorded action.

Rouzer said his bill would secure a permanent fix for Wrightsville, Carolina, and Kure Beaches' nourishment by allowing continued use of historic borrow sites. The release also says he worked with USACE and OMB to get emergency funding approved and urged a long-term certainty solution through H.R. 524.

Rouzer announced approval of funding for the Carolina Beach and Kure Beach coastal storm damage reduction project after urging OMB and USACE to act. The release describes the money as previously unused funds redirected to the project, not a durable long-term funding mechanism.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Rouzer materially worked on the issue during the same federal House term by sponsoring H.R. 524, which passed the House in April 2024, and by pressing OMB and USACE for beach renourishment funding that was approved for Carolina and Kure Beaches. However, the record provided does not show enactment of H.R. 524 or creation of a durable long-term funding solution for dredging, inlets, and beach nourishment/re-nourishment. The evidence supports meaningful same-term effort and some project-level funding, but not full delivery of the promised long-term funding solution.

never same_term A for effort

Rouzer made serious efforts related to the promise, including sponsoring H.R. 524, securing House passage, pressing USACE and OMB, and helping obtain project-specific beach renourishment funding. However, the cited record does not show that a durable long-term funding solution for dredging waterways and inlets or beach nourishment/re-nourishment was enacted or otherwise delivered. H.R. 524 remained in the Senate committee process, and the funding cited was short-term or project-specific rather than a long-term mechanism.
