Evidence

Amendment #24 by Buchanan (FL) and others: "Includes the Save America’s Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act of 2025 (H.R. 1661) in the Farm Bill (H.R. 7567) to permanently end the slaughter of American horses for human consumption." Status on the page is "Submitted." The same page shows the Rules Committee meeting and amendment deadline around April 22-29, 2026.

Recent official House Rules materials show Buchanan and bipartisan co-sponsors pushing the SAFE Act as a Farm Bill amendment, but only at the submission stage; there is no sign in this source that the SAFE Act itself was enacted or signed into law.

Congress.gov shows H.R. 1661 (SAFE Act of 2025) was introduced on 2025-02-27, referred to the House Committee on Agriculture, and then referred to the Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry on 2025-03-28; no later action is listed on the official actions page.

Latest official bill status remains introduced and referred only, with no enactment or Senate progress. That supports a failed delivery on the promised law.

The House Rules Committee page lists a bipartisan Buchanan-Schakowsky amendment that would include the Save America’s Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act of 2025 (H.R. 1661) in H.R. 7567 to permanently end horse slaughter for human consumption, but the amendment status is only Submitted.

This is a concrete same-term attempt to move the SAFE Act through the farm bill process, but it was not adopted or enacted.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Buchanan did make a real legislative push for the SAFE Act: H.R. 1661 was introduced, and in 2026 he also backed a House Rules amendment to include the SAFE Act in the farm bill. But the official bill actions show no enactment, and the amendment remained only submitted. Because the promised outcome was a signed law permanently banning horse slaughter and export for human consumption, and that did not happen, this is not delivered. The effort was substantial, so it earns the effort badge.

never same_term A for effort

The promised outcome was enactment: getting the SAFE Act signed into law to permanently ban horse slaughter and export of horses for human consumption. Available federal bill status and the supplied House Rules evidence show continued same-term effort by Buchanan, including a submitted 2026 Farm Bill amendment to include the SAFE Act, but no passage by both chambers or presidential signature. Because Buchanan materially pushed the policy but the promised legal outcome has not been delivered, this is a failed delivery with an effort badge rather than partial fulfillment.
