Brecheen sponsored H.R.7169 on January 21, 2026, a bill directly matching the promise to require English proficiency for ride share contract eligibility. The current Congress.gov record shows the bill was referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform the same day and remains only at the Introduced stage, with no House passage, Senate passage, presidential action, or enactment. Because the promised policy has not been implemented, but Brecheen made a serious legislative attempt during his current federal term, this is best scored as not delivered with effort credit.
