Evidence

The House Energy and Commerce Environment Subcommittee reported H.R. 2145, the Recycling Infrastructure and Accessibility Act, to the Full Committee by voice vote, as amended to include H.R. 4109. The post says the bill would expand access to recycling infrastructure and shows Miller-Meeks describing a pilot grant program for communities without nearby recycling facilities.

Concrete committee action in the lookback window; the bill advanced from subcommittee to full committee, which is meaningful progress but not final enactment.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee’s May 21, 2026 full committee markup agenda includes H.R. 2145, Recycling Infrastructure and Accessibility Act. The repository page shows the markup was scheduled and last updated on May 21, 2026, but does not yet show final disposition for the bill.

As of the end of the lookback window, the bill was still under active committee consideration and no final full-committee outcome is shown here.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Miller-Meeks appears to have materially advanced the promised EPA rural and underserved recycling-accessibility pilot through H.R. 2145, the Recycling Infrastructure and Accessibility Act. The evidence shows the bill advanced out of the House Energy and Commerce Environment Subcommittee by voice vote and was pending full committee markup on May 21, 2026. That is meaningful same-term legislative progress toward the exact promised program, but the record does not show enactment or establishment of the EPA pilot program. Because the promised outcome had not been delivered by the lookback date, this warrants partial credit with an effort badge rather than full delivery.
