GovInfo lists H.R. 8471 as introduced in the House on April 23, 2026. The action states that Mr. Steube, for himself, Ms. Titus, Ms. Malliotakis, and Mr. Carson, introduced the bill and it was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. The bill’s short title is the Preventing Risky Importation of Monkeys to Avoid Toxic Exposures Act, and its full title says it amends the Tariff Act of 1930 to prohibit the importation of nonhuman primates.

Titus co-sponsored a bill to ban nonhuman primate imports for research/experimentation, but it was only introduced and referred to committee, not enacted.

The official House press release says Representatives Dina Titus and Greg Steube introduced the PRIMATE Act on April 23, 2026 to prohibit the importation of nonhuman primates into the United States. Titus is quoted saying she is proud to join in introducing legislation that prevents the importation of monkeys for the purposes of experimentation and research.

Publicly, Titus advanced the claim through introduction of a bill that matches the promise, but this is still proposal-stage action only.
