Bice promised to work to get the Protecting Families from Fertility Fraud Act signed into law. She materially advanced the promise by reintroducing H.R. 8295 in the 119th Congress on April 15, 2026, with referral to the House Judiciary Committee, and publicly promoted the bill. However, the available official and legislative-tracking evidence shows the bill has only been introduced and referred, not passed by Congress or signed into law. Because there was a serious legislative attempt but the promised enactment has not occurred, this is not delivered, with effort credit.
