Evidence

Congress.gov lists Nancy Mace among H.R. 3492's cosponsors. The bill passed the House on Dec. 17, 2025, by a 216-211 roll call and was received in the Senate on Dec. 18, 2025.

Mace backed a bill that advanced through the House and would criminalize a narrow class of conduct, showing some punitive follow-through but not the full broad promise.

The enrolled text amends 18 U.S.C. 116 so that knowingly performing or attempting certain genital or bodily mutilation or chemical castration of a minor is punishable by fines and up to 10 years in prison.

The legislation adds criminal fines and prison exposure for specific offenses, but it is narrow and does not show a general increase in all criminal fines, fees, and mandatory minimums.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

The provided evidence shows Nancy Mace cosponsored H.R. 3492 and that it passed the House in December 2025, which is a meaningful same-term legislative effort in a tougher-on-crime direction. But the bill was narrow: it added penalties for specific conduct involving minors, not a broad increase in all criminal fines, fees, and mandatory minimums. The evidence also does not show final enactment into law. Under a federal legislative standard, that means the promised outcome was not delivered, though there was a serious attempt.
