Introduce and work to enact legislation to reauthorize the Lake Champlain Basin Program for five years and add an oversight process to evaluate the program's fiscal agent and transparency.
Occurrences
Evidence
The office announced introduction of the Lake Champlain Basin Program (LCBP) Enhancements Act of 2026, saying it would reauthorize the LCBP for five years and create a transparency-focused oversight process within EPA and the Lake Champlain Steering Committee to evaluate the fiscal agent.
Congress.gov lists H.R. 7560, sponsored by Rep. Elise M. Stefanik, as introduced on 02/12/2026 and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure; the status remains Introduced with no later action shown on the actions page.
GovInfo's Congressional Record Index for May 5, 2026 cross-references the Lake Champlain item and lists Congressional Bills S. 3833 and H.R. 7560, indicating the legislation remained active enough to be indexed in the Congressional Record materials in the current session.
Assessments
Stefanik introduced H.R. 7560 in the 119th Congress to reauthorize the Lake Champlain Basin Program for five years and add the promised fiscal-agent transparency and oversight process. That satisfies the introduction and serious-effort portions of the promise. However, the official status shows the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, with no evidence of passage or enactment as of May 22, 2026, so the promised legislative outcome has not been fully delivered.
