Assessments
The promise was to continue efforts to move Dalilah's Law through both the House and Senate, not to guarantee enactment. Evidence shows Rouzer materially advanced the bill in the House: he introduced/released the text, secured committee markup, and the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved H.R. 5688 and sent it to the House floor in March 2026. There is also evidence of a Senate companion bill introduced later that month, showing bicameral movement on the issue. However, the record provided does not show House floor passage, Senate passage, or enactment into law, and Rouzer's own May 2026 statement says he was still working to move the bill through Congress. So the promise shows meaningful progress and sustained effort, but not full completion.
