Evidence
House Roll Call 659 was on H.R. 5363, the FUTURE Act; the measure passed 319-96. The vote list records Moore, Democratic, Wisconsin, voting Yea.
Congress.gov records H.R. 5363 as becoming Public Law No. 116-91 on December 19, 2019. Its public-law summary says the bill permanently authorizes funding for minority-serving institutions of higher education.
The U.S. Code makes eligible a part B institution and a Hispanic-serving institution, provides $255,000,000 for fiscal year 2020 and each fiscal year thereafter, allocates $100,000,000 to HSI STEM and articulation programs, and allocates funding for HBCUs and PBIs.
House Roll Call 167 was on passage of H.R. 4872, the Reconciliation Act of 2010; the measure passed 220-211. The vote list records Moore (WI), Democratic, Wisconsin, voting Aye.
Section 2103 is titled Investment in Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-Serving Institutions and amended 20 U.S.C. 1067q to run through 2019, with grant authority expiring at the end of fiscal year 2019.
Section 802 created an investment in Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other Minority-Serving Institutions, making HBCUs and Hispanic-serving institutions eligible and providing $255,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2008 and 2009, including $100,000,000 for HSI programs and $100,000,000 for HBCUs/PBIs.
Assessments
Moore promised to support increased federal funding for HBCUs and Hispanic Serving Institutions. As a sitting U.S. Representative, she voted for the 2010 reconciliation law extending HBCU/MSI investment authority through FY2019 and later voted for H.R. 5363, the FUTURE Act, which became Public Law 116-91 and permanently authorized annual funding for minority-serving institutions, including HBCUs and HSIs. Because the concrete funding actions occurred after the initial campaign context rather than necessarily within the first term, later_term is the best timing classification.
