Evidence

“Today, U.S. Representative Chris Deluzio (D-PA-17) and U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) introduced the Let Kids Play Act. This is a bicameral bill to stop Wall Street from pricing kids out of sports by banning private equity firms from youth sports, shutting down the vulture practices they use to jack up costs, and getting money back to the families who have been ripped off.”

Deluzio formally introduced the Let Kids Play Act with Sen. Murphy; the press release describes the bill as banning private equity in youth sports and curbing abusive pricing practices.

Deluzio materially advanced the promise by introducing the Let Kids Play Act in May 2026, and the bill directly matches the promised policy of banning private equity from youth sports and stopping abusive pricing practices. However, the evidence only shows introduction and referral, not enactment or implementation. Because the promised outcome has not been delivered, but there was a serious legislative attempt during the same federal House term, this is best scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
