Evidence

H.R. 7559, introduced by Mr. Austin Scott of Georgia on February 12, 2026, states: 'No deduction shall be allowed under this chapter for any outsourcing payment.' The GovInfo record shows it was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and lists the last action date as February 12, 2026.

never same_term A for effort

Austin Scott introduced H.R. 7559 on February 12, 2026, which directly matches the promise by proposing to deny tax deductions for outsourcing payments. However, the record provided shows only introduction and referral to the House Ways and Means Committee, with no passage or enacted federal tax-law change. Because this was a serious legislative attempt but did not deliver the promised outcome, it should be scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
