GovInfo lists H.R. 7997 as Introduced in House, with the last listed action on March 19, 2026: Hageman introduced the bill and it was referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. The full title is to establish a task force on AI speech-to-text and automatic speech recognition in the U.S. judicial system.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The current official House bill record still shows only introduction and committee referral, with no enactment or task-force establishment. This confirms a serious legislative attempt but not delivery of the promised task force.

GovInfo lists the Senate companion, S. 4154, as Introduced in Senate, with the last listed action on March 19, 2026: it was read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. The bill title and full title match the AI-in-courts task force proposal.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The official Senate companion record likewise shows referral to committee only, reinforcing that the bicameral effort has not become law or produced the task force.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. same_term A for effort

Hageman materially advanced the promised policy by introducing H.R. 7997, the Research and Oversight of AI in Courts Act of 2026, which matches the promised federal AI courts task force. However, current legislative records show the House bill and Senate companion remained introduced and referred to Judiciary committees, with no enactment and no established task force. Under the scoring rule, this is a serious legislative attempt but not delivery of the promised outcome.

Hageman introduced H.R. 7997 in the House on March 19, 2026, and the bill would have created the requested task force, but the available record shows only introduction and committee referral. There is no evidence the task force was actually established, so this is a serious legislative attempt that did not deliver the promised outcome.
