GovInfo lists H.R. 8430 as introduced in the 119th Congress on April 22, 2026 by Ms. Ross for herself and Mr. Rulli, referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. Its full title is to authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to share food safety information with State, local, Tribal, and Territorial authorities.
Assessments
Rulli fulfilled the promise by serving as an original cosponsor and public supporter of H.R. 8430 in the 119th Congress, legislation whose title and purpose directly match the commitment to authorize HHS to share food safety information with state, local, Tribal, and territorial authorities. Because the promise was to support legislation rather than secure enactment, introduction and cosponsorship during his federal term are sufficient for delivery.
Rulli fulfilled the promise as framed because the commitment was to support legislation authorizing HHS food safety information sharing with state, local, Tribal, and territorial authorities, not necessarily to secure enactment. During his federal term, he cosponsored H.R. 8430, whose title and described purpose directly match the promised policy. The bill had only been introduced and referred as of April 22, 2026, so the broader policy outcome was not enacted, but the promised act of legislative support was completed.
