Evidence

No matching text found for "animal" in the enacted Public Law 119-75 PDF; the law is the FY2026 Consolidated Appropriations Act that funds HHS and NIH.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The enacted FY2026 spending law funds NIH/HHS, but the text search shows no dog/cat/animal-specific prohibition, so the promised federal funding ban was not enacted.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown

No evidence shows Langworthy secured enactment of a federal prohibition on funding the breeding of dogs and cats for research. The cited FY2026 Consolidated Appropriations Act contains no such restriction, and NIH's move toward non-animal alternatives does not satisfy the promise. Because Langworthy remains in office and the promise could still be pursued, the outcome is unresolved rather than delivered or definitively failed.
