Congressmen Mike Ezell, Salud Carbajal, Gabe Evans, and Troy A. Carter Sr. introduced the bipartisan Commission on Natural Disaster Risk Management and Insurance Act, a bill to create a nonpartisan commission to study natural disaster insurance affordability and report policy recommendations to Congress within two years.
Assessments
Ezell helped introduce a bipartisan bill to create the commission, which is a serious legislative attempt and matches the promised mechanism, but the evidence shows only introduction and committee referral, not enactment or a completed commission report. Because the outcome was not actually delivered, this counts as a failed but effortful attempt.
Ezell materially advanced the promised policy during his federal term by joining the bipartisan H.R. 8439, the Commission on Natural Disaster Risk Management and Insurance Act, which would create a nonpartisan commission to study natural disaster insurance affordability and report recommendations to Congress. However, the evidence shows introduction and committee referral only, not enactment or actual creation of the commission. Because the promised outcome has not been delivered, but there was a serious legislative attempt, this is best scored as not delivered with effort credit.
