Evidence

On April 27, 2026, Rep. French Hill announced the bipartisan PROTECT Act, saying it would direct DHS to develop and disseminate best practices for protecting the personally identifiable information of public servants across all levels of government.

This is concrete legislative action toward the promise: Hill introduced a bill that matches the stated commitment to strengthen protections for public servants' personal data and direct DHS to issue best-practice guidance.

GovInfo lists H.R. 7045 as introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, with the last action date listed as January 13, 2026.

The official bill record shows the proposal was introduced and referred, but does not show enactment or completion of DHS guidance. That supports an unresolved status rather than delivery.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Hill made a concrete same-term legislative effort by introducing bipartisan legislation aimed at protecting public servants' personally identifiable information and directing DHS to issue best-practice guidance. However, the available official record shows the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, with no evidence that it became law or that DHS issued the promised guidance. Because the promised outcome has not been completed, this should not be marked delivered; the serious legislative attempt warrants an effort badge.
