Congress.gov lists H.R. 7021 as sponsored by Rep. Johnny Olszewski and shows the bill status as Introduced, with latest action referral to House Foreign Affairs on January 12, 2026.

The official bill status shows the measure had not passed the House, passed the Senate, gone to the President, or become law by the assessment date, so the authorization had not been delivered.
