Congress.gov lists H.R.2486 as the Heating and Cooling Relief Act, sponsored by Rep. Yassamin Ansari and cosponsored by Rep. Jasmine Crockett on 2025-03-31. The latest action is House referral to Energy and Commerce and Education and Workforce; the tracker status is Introduced, with no House passage, Senate passage, or enactment.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Crockett took concrete action by cosponsoring a House bill aimed at expanding LIHEAP, but the official status remains introduced/referred, so the commitment is not delivered as of the refresh. Lookback searches found no newer official action from 2026-09-05 through 2026-09-07.

The introduced text would amend the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Act to fund assistance for all eligible households, provide $2 billion plus additional sums for emergency needs, raise eligibility to 250% of poverty or 80% of state median income, cover extreme heat and cold, require year-round state programs, reduce administrative burden, plan for heat risks and retrofits, and collect arrears and shutoff data.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The bill text substantively matches the promise to expand and modernize LIHEAP for utility affordability and cooling/heating needs, including needs relevant to Texas heat. Because these provisions are only proposed and not enacted, they support an unresolved-with-effort assessment rather than delivery.

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

Crockett cosponsored H.R.2486, the Heating and Cooling Relief Act, in the 119th Congress. The bill appears to substantively match the promise by expanding LIHEAP funding, eligibility, year-round assistance, heat/cold coverage, and modernization requirements. However, it remains introduced/referred with no passage or enactment, so the promised expansion has not been delivered yet. Because she is still in federal office and the measure has not reached a final failed endpoint, this is best scored as unresolved with effort credit.
