Assessments
Britt fulfilled the promise as written by actively supporting and sponsoring legislation that would require mental health warning labels on social media platforms for minors. She introduced the Stop the Scroll Act in the 118th Congress and reintroduced it in the 119th Congress, and the bill later advanced in Senate Commerce Committee. Because the promise was to support such legislation, not necessarily to enact it into law, her sponsorship and continued advocacy count as delivery. This occurred during her current Senate term.
Britt sponsored and introduced the Stop the Scroll Act to require mental health warning labels on social media, and the bill later advanced in Senate Commerce Committee markup, but it did not become law. That is a serious legislative attempt, not fulfillment of the promised outcome.
Britt fulfilled the promise to support legislation by sponsoring and introducing the Stop the Scroll Act in the 118th Congress in 2024, a federal bill requiring mental health warning labels on social media platforms. She continued the effort by reintroducing S.1885 in the 119th Congress, and the Senate Commerce Committee later advanced it by voice vote in April 2026. Because the claim was to support legislation, not necessarily secure final enactment, her sponsorship and committee advancement satisfy the promise within her Senate term.
The promise was to support legislation requiring mental health warning labels for users under 18 on social media platforms, not necessarily to secure enactment. In her Senate term, Britt sponsored/introduced the Stop the Scroll Act, whose stated purpose was to require FTC/HHS implementation of mental health warning labels on social media platforms, matching the core policy. Later committee advancement in 2026 further supports material advancement, but the promise was already satisfied by her direct sponsorship/support in the same Senate term.
