Their bipartisan Expanding Access to Affordable Prescription Drugs and Medical Devices Act will create a clear pathway for nonprofit drug and medical device manufacturers to receive tax-exempt status, to support this critical industry and bolster nonprofit manufacturer production so more Americans can have access to lower cost medicine.

Assessments
The promise was to support legislation establishing a tax-exempt pathway for nonprofit drug and medical-device manufacturers, not necessarily to secure enactment. Evidence shows Curtis co-introduced or materially supported S.3325, the Expanding Access to Affordable Drugs and Medical Devices Act, during his Senate term, and the bill's stated purpose matches the promised policy. The bill had only been introduced and referred to committee, but that is sufficient for a support-legislation pledge.
The promise was to support legislation establishing a clear tax-exempt pathway for nonprofit drug and medical device manufacturers, not necessarily to enact it. In his current federal office, Curtis fulfilled that support pledge during the same term by becoming an original cosponsor of S.3325, the Expanding Access to Affordable Drugs and Medical Devices Act, on December 3, 2025. Official congressional records still show the bill at the introduced-and-referred stage, so the policy outcome itself has not been enacted, but the candidate action promised here was support for such legislation, and that action occurred.
Curtis made the promised federal legislative support action during his Senate term by introducing bipartisan legislation with Senator Rosen to create a clear tax-exempt pathway for nonprofit drug and medical device manufacturers, matching the mechanism described in the promise. The bill had only been introduced and referred, so the broader policy outcome was not enacted, but the promise was framed as supporting legislation rather than guaranteeing passage.
