Evidence
GovInfo records that Rep. Costa, with several cosponsors, submitted H. Res. 1190 on April 20, 2026, and that the resolution was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Costa's office said the resolution 'reaffirms our bipartisan commitment to ensuring victims and survivors are treated with dignity, connected to the services and resources they deserve, and supported every step of the way.'

Costa's office announced that Costa and Juan Ciscomani, co-chairs of the Crime Survivors and Justice Caucus, introduced the resolution and framed it as a bipartisan commitment to dignity, services, and resources for victims and survivors.
Assessments
Costa took a concrete same-term action directly aligned with the pledge by sponsoring H. Res. 1190 and publicly framing it around treating crime victims and survivors with dignity and connecting them to services and resources. However, the measure was only introduced and referred to committee, with no evidence of passage, enactment, funding, or completed administrative delivery that ensured the promised outcome. This supports partial credit for serious effort, not full delivery.
Costa took a concrete same-term legislative step by introducing H. Res. 1190 and publicly framing it as a commitment to treat victims and survivors with dignity and connect them to services. But the cited measure was only introduced and referred to committee, not enacted, so the promise was advanced rather than fully delivered.
Costa took a concrete same-term federal legislative step by introducing H. Res. 1190 in April 2026 and publicly linked it to ensuring crime victims and survivors are treated with dignity and connected to services and resources. However, the cited measure was only introduced and referred to committee, and the evidence does not show enacted funding, binding policy, or completed service expansion. Because the promise was broad and ongoing, this supports partial credit for material effort rather than full delivery.
