unresolved same_term A for effort

Knott introduced H.R. 8267, the SAFER in Transport Act, in the 119th Congress to address the promised freight-fraud loopholes, fraud detection modernization, licensing/enforcement practices, and supply-chain security. The official record shows introduction and committee referral only, with no enactment or completed policy change yet. Because he is still in federal office and the proposal has not clearly failed or passed, the promise remains unresolved rather than delivered or never fulfilled.

never same_term A for effort

Knott made a concrete federal legislative attempt by introducing H.R. 8267, the SAFER in Transport Act, which directly matches the promise to close freight-fraud loopholes, modernize fraud detection, strengthen enforcement, and secure supply chains. However, the evidence only shows introduction and committee referral, with no enactment or implemented enforcement change. Because the promised outcome has not been delivered, but there was a serious legislative attempt during his current House term, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
