Assessments

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

Matsui materially advanced the promise by introducing the MAPS Act in the House on June 26, 2025, and the bill text directly targets supply-chain mapping and visibility into drug ingredients and manufacturing locations. A later Senate amendment pursued the same concept, showing a serious legislative effort. But the provided record does not show enactment or that the promised requirement was actually imposed on the FDA, providers, and purchasers. Under the stated rule, a serious attempt that did not deliver the outcome is scored as never with effort credit.

Rep. Doris Matsui materially advanced the promise by introducing H.R. 4191, the MAPS Act, in the 119th Congress. The bill directly matches the promise: it would create a monitoring and mapping system for pharmaceutical supply chains, including key starting materials, active ingredients, finished drugs, and manufacturing locations, improving visibility for federal authorities and related health-system stakeholders. Additional Senate amendment text shows the concept continued to be pursued. However, the provided record does not show enactment into law or that FDA, providers, and purchasers were actually required to have this visibility. Because there was a serious legislative effort but no demonstrated delivery of the promised outcome, this should be scored as not fulfilled with effort credit.
