Evidence

Leaders of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee formally introduced H.R. 8870, the BUILD America 250 Act, on May 19, 2026, and announced a markup for May 21, 2026. The release says the bill is intended as a bipartisan, five-year surface transportation reauthorization bill and that the committee’s goal is to send legislation to the President’s desk before the current authorization expires on September 30, 2026.

The bill was introduced and moved into committee markup, showing concrete legislative progress, but not enactment.

The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, following a 14-hour legislative markup, approved H.R. 8870, the BUILD America 250 Act, on May 21, 2026.

Committee approval is a meaningful step toward passage, but it is still not enactment into law.

Committee leaders released the text of the BUILD America 250 Act on May 17, 2026 and said their ultimate goal was to send legislation from Congress to the President’s desk before the current surface transportation authorization expires on September 30, 2026.

This confirms active advancement of the bill in the House committee process, but no enactment yet.

Rouzer’s official website posted a May 22, 2026 item titled “Rouzer, House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Pa...” referencing the BUILD America 250 Act, indicating Rouzer publicly promoted the committee’s action on the bill.

A member-office statement confirms Rouzer’s involvement and support during the committee stage, but it does not show enactment.

The committee posted a BUILD America 250 Act markup amendments page showing H.R. 8870 and amendment activity associated with the markup process.

The markup amendments page is further evidence of active committee handling of the bill, but not final passage or enactment.

The Congress.gov Public Laws page lists enacted bills and joint resolutions after they receive public law numbers; the page does not show the BUILD America 250 Act among enacted public laws in the visible listing.

Absence from the public laws list supports that the bill has not been enacted as of the assessment date, though this is indirect evidence.

Assessments

unresolved unknown A for effort

The promise was to work to get the BUILD America 250 Act enacted. Evidence shows Rouzer was involved in advancing the bill during the 2026 House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee process: the bill text was released, formally introduced as H.R. 8870, marked up, and approved by committee, and Rouzer publicly promoted that action. However, the record provided does not show final House passage, Senate passage, or enactment into law. The public-laws evidence suggests it had not yet been enacted as of the assessment date, but because the bill was still actively moving within the same Congress and the available evidence does not establish a final failure, the best judgment is unresolved rather than delivered or never. Rouzer appears to have made a serious legislative effort, so effort_badge is warranted.
