Evidence
GovInfo lists H.R. 8465, introduced by Rep. Mark DeSaulnier on April 23, 2026, with the full title 'To authorize funding for section 619 and part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.' The bill was referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
The House Congressional Record for April 23, 2026 includes the introduction entry for Mr. DeSaulnier's bill on section 619 and part C of IDEA, confirming the proposal was formally placed before the House on that date.
Assessments
DeSaulnier materially advanced the promise by introducing H.R. 8465 on April 23, 2026, a bill specifically to authorize funding for IDEA section 619 and Part C. That is a serious legislative attempt in his current federal office, but the evidence only shows introduction and referral to committee, not House passage, Senate passage, or enactment. Because he remains in office and the current term is ongoing, this is better judged as unresolved rather than never; the promised funding authorization has not yet been delivered.
DeSaulnier introduced H.R. 8465 on April 23, 2026 to authorize funding for IDEA section 619 and Part C, and the bill was referred to committee. The evidence shows a serious legislative attempt in the relevant federal office context, but it does not show enactment, passage, or actual authorization of funding. Introduction and referral alone do not fulfill the promised spending authorization outcome.
