Evidence

legacy_unverified · Source version not recorded · locator unknown

GovInfo lists H.R. 8554 as the End Polluter Welfare Act of 2024, with the full title: To eliminate certain subsidies for fossil-fuel production. The action text names Mr. Carson among the members for whom Rep. Omar introduced the bill, and the cosponsor list includes Andre Carson (IN).

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Carson took concrete legislative action supporting the fossil-fuel-subsidy portion of the commitment by cosponsoring a bill explicitly aimed at eliminating fossil-fuel production subsidies. The bill was referred to committees rather than enacted, so this is strong support/effort evidence rather than full policy delivery.

The Clerk records Roll Call 420 on H.R. 5376, dated Aug. 12, 2022, as passed 220-207. In the member vote table, Carson, Democratic, Indiana, is recorded as Yea.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Carson voted for final House passage of H.R. 5376, the legislative vehicle that became the Inflation Reduction Act. Official IRS implementation materials identify the Act as creating and implementing multiple energy-related credits, including clean electricity investment and production credits, clean fuel, clean hydrogen, advanced energy project, clean vehicle, and home energy credits. This supports delivery of the clean-energy-incentive half of the commitment.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term A for effort

Carson materially supported the clean-energy-incentive portion by voting for House passage of H.R. 5376 in 2022, which became the Inflation Reduction Act and created major clean energy tax credits and incentives while he was serving in federal office. He also supported ending fossil fuel subsidies by cosponsoring the End Polluter Welfare Act of 2024, but that bill was referred to committee and was not enacted, so the fossil-fuel-subsidy portion was not fully delivered. Because one major part of the commitment became law and the other received serious legislative support but not enactment, partial credit is appropriate.
