The House Rules Committee page lists amendment 42 to H.R. 8800 from McCaul, Kaptur, Gottheimer, Crane, Baumgartner, and Guest as bipartisan and 'Submitted'; its summary says it would authorize the National Guard to conduct Counter-UAS missions to protect critical infrastructure and major public events upon Department of Defense approval.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): After introducing H.R. 8697, Kaptur joined a concrete NDAA amendment effort to add the same National Guard counter-UAS authority, but the amendment was only submitted, not shown as made in order or adopted.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. same_term A for effort

Kaptur materially supported the relevant federal legislation during the same House term: she was an original cosponsor/introducer of H.R. 8697, the Guard the Skies Act, and joined a related NDAA amendment effort to authorize National Guard counter-UAS missions. However, the available official record shows the bill was only introduced and referred, and the NDAA amendment was submitted without evidence of adoption or enactment. Because the promised policy outcome was not delivered, but she made a serious legislative attempt, this is best scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.

Kaptur materially supported and helped introduce the Guard the Skies Act in the 119th Congress on May 7, 2026, and the bill is framed as expanding counter-drone training and National Guard counter-UAS authority in the United States. However, the available evidence shows introduction and advocacy, not enactment or implemented training expansion. Because the promised outcome was to support legislation, this is a serious legislative attempt, but absent passage or implementation it should not be scored as delivered.
