Evidence
GovInfo shows H. Res. 1205, sponsored by Mike Collins, was introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce and, additionally, the Committee on Small Business. The bill title is "Encouraging military discounts in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States."
Rep. Mike Collins' April 22, 2026 press release says he introduced the "250 Years of Military Honor Package" and that the package includes the "America 250 Military Appreciation Discount."
Assessments
Rep. Mike Collins publicly introduced the America 250 military discount concept as part of a package and filed H. Res. 1205, but the evidence shown only reaches introduction and committee referral. There is no indication the discount was enacted or implemented, so the promise was not delivered in the record provided. Because he made a concrete legislative attempt, effort credit is warranted even though the outcome was not achieved.
Collins materially acted on the promise in the same federal House term by introducing H. Res. 1205 and announcing the America 250 Military Appreciation Discount as part of his 250 Years of Military Honor Package. However, the cited record shows only introduction and committee referral, with no enactment, adoption, implementation, or other official creation of the discount. Because the promised outcome was not delivered despite a serious legislative attempt, this is a failed delivery with an effort badge.
