Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): delivered. same_term A for effort

Fitzpatrick personally sponsored H.R.570, the Combat Online Predators Act, in the 116th Congress. The Senate companion bill with the same core provisions became Public Law 116-249 on December 22, 2020, during Fitzpatrick's same House term, increasing penalties for stalking offenses involving victims under 18 and requiring DOJ reporting. In federal legislative context, House sponsorship of the companion measure plus enactment of the policy satisfies the promise to advance and punish online predators targeting children.
