GovInfo lists H.R. 8579 as introduced in the House on April 29, 2026 by Ryan Mackenzie and Brittany Pettersen and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The bill title directs FAA regulations to include strollers in airline contracts of carriage and set a liability limit for damaged strollers.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Mackenzie introduced legislation matching the stroller-reimbursement promise, but the official record shown is introduction and committee referral, not enactment or implemented regulation.

Mackenzie has materially advanced the promise by introducing H.R. 8579 on April 29, 2026, which directly targets airline contracts of carriage and damaged-stroller liability. However, the evidence shows the bill remains in committee with no enactment, FAA regulation, or implemented reimbursement requirement as of September 6, 2026. Because he is still in federal office and the matching legislation is pending rather than failed, the promise is not yet delivered but remains unresolved, with credit for effort.
