Suozzi's April 24, 2026 press release says he unveiled the bipartisan SACRED Act, co-led by Rep. Max Miller, to make it a federal crime to intentionally intimidate, obstruct, or harass worshippers within 100 feet of a place of worship.

This is concrete legislative action consistent with the promise: Suozzi publicly launched the SACRED Act and described the criminalization language. It is still only introduction-level progress, with no enactment or later committee/vote result located in the current lookback window.
