Evidence

GovInfo shows H.R. 8096 was introduced by Mr. Burchett on March 26, 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, with additional referral to the Budget and Rules Committees.

Burchett introduced the bill, but the official record only shows referral at introduction; no enactment or final House action is shown here.

The Oversight Committee announced a May 20, 2026 markup and listed H.R. 8096, the Duplication Scoring Act of 2026, explaining that it would require the Comptroller General to analyze certain committee-reported legislation for duplication and overlap with existing federal programs.

The bill advanced to a scheduled committee markup, which is concrete movement, but as of the lookback window it had not yet been marked up, reported, or enacted.

Assessments

unresolved same_term A for effort

Burchett introduced H.R. 8096, the Duplication Scoring Act of 2026, which directly matches the promise by requiring GAO/Comptroller General review of certain committee-reported bills for duplication or overlap with existing federal programs. The bill was scheduled for a House Oversight Committee markup on May 20, 2026, showing a serious same-term legislative effort, but available records do not show enactment or final implementation of the requirement. Because the promised outcome has not yet become law or otherwise taken effect, it remains unresolved rather than delivered.

unresolved same_term A for effort

Burchett introduced H.R. 8096, the Duplication Scoring Act of 2026, which directly matches the promise by requiring the Comptroller General/GAO to analyze certain committee-reported legislation for duplication and overlap with existing federal programs. As of May 16, 2026, the bill had been introduced and scheduled for a May 20, 2026 Oversight Committee markup, but it had not yet been reported, passed, or enacted. Because the candidate is still in federal office and the legislative effort is active rather than definitively failed, the outcome remains unresolved with same-term timing and an effort badge.
