Evidence

The member page lists S.3325, "Expanding Access to Affordable Drugs and Medical Devices Act," with latest action "Senate - 12/03/2025 Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance."

Official congressional record shows the bill was introduced and referred, with no later action shown on the member page through the current review date; the commitment remains unresolved.

The press release says Senators Rosen and Curtis introduced a bipartisan bill that would "create a clear pathway for nonprofit drug and medical device manufacturers to receive tax-exempt status" and lower costs of prescription drugs and medical devices.

This confirms concrete legislative effort consistent with the promise, but it is introduction-stage activity rather than delivery; there is no evidence in the lookback window of enactment, committee advancement, or executive implementation.

Curtis's Senate office said Senators Jacky Rosen and John Curtis introduced a bipartisan bill to reduce prescription-drug and medical-device costs, prevent shortages, boost domestic production, create jobs, and create a pathway for nonprofit manufacturers to receive tax-exempt status.

This directly confirms Curtis supported and introduced legislation matching the promise during his Senate term. Because the promise was to support such legislation, this supports fulfillment even though the bill was not shown as enacted.

Congress.gov lists S.3325, the Expanding Access to Affordable Drugs and Medical Devices Act, sponsored by Sen. Jacky Rosen, with one cosponsor, referred to the Senate Finance Committee on December 3, 2025, and status Introduced.

The official bill record verifies that the relevant legislation existed in the 119th Congress and had not advanced beyond introduction and referral. This supports delivery of the support pledge when paired with Curtis's official announcement, but not enactment of the policy.

Congress.gov describes S.3325 as a bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code to provide rules for tax-exempt status of organizations that manufacture and distribute drugs and medical devices to meet public health needs; text had not been received as of December 23, 2025.

The official text page confirms the bill's subject matches the promised tax-exempt pathway for nonprofit drug and medical-device manufacturers, while also showing that formal legislative text was not yet available on Congress.gov at that point.

Assessments

delivered same_term

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.
