GovInfo identifies H.R. 8707 as the No Funds for Iran War Act, introduced in the House on May 7, 2026, with Christopher R. Deluzio listed as a cosponsor; the bill text prohibits funds for military force in or against Iran absent war authorization or qualifying conditions.
GovInfo lists H.R. 8707 as introduced in the House on May 7, 2026 and referred to the Committees on Foreign Affairs and Armed Services. The page still shows the bill in introduced form with no enactment or later legislative action recorded there.
Assessments
Deluzio took a serious legislative step by joining the introduction of the No Funds for Iran War Act to prohibit funding for military action against Iran without congressional authorization. But the official bill record shows the measure was only introduced and referred to committee, with no enactment or other completed outcome. Under the scoring rule, a serious but unsuccessful attempt counts as never, with effort credit.
Deluzio took a serious same-term legislative step by cosponsoring/introducing H.R. 8707, the No Funds for Iran War Act, which directly matches the promise by prohibiting funds for military force in or against Iran absent congressional authorization or qualifying defensive conditions. However, available current bill-status evidence shows the measure remains introduced rather than enacted, so the promised funding block has not been delivered. Because the attempt was concrete and directly on point, this is a failed delivery with an effort badge rather than partial delivery of the outcome.
