Evidence

The House Committee on Small Business announced a full committee markup on May 20, 2026, and listed H.R. 5498, the Small Business Health Options Awareness Act of 2025, among the bills to be marked up.

In the lookback window, the committee kept Van Duyne's bill active by scheduling it for markup, which is concrete legislative action but not proof of passage or enactment.

GovInfo lists H.R. 5498 as introduced in the House on September 18, 2025, and referred to the Committee on Small Business; the last action date listed is September 18, 2025.

The official bill record shows introduction and referral but no later public action reflected on the bill record, supporting an unresolved status rather than delivery.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Van Duyne materially advanced the promise by sponsoring H.R. 5498, the Small Business Health Options Awareness Act of 2025, and the bill was active enough to be scheduled for House Small Business Committee markup on May 20, 2026. But the evidence provided shows only introduction, referral, and committee consideration. It does not show House passage, Senate passage, enactment, or any SBA requirement or implementation requiring outreach to small businesses about individual coverage health reimbursement arrangements. Under the rule for serious legislative attempts that do not achieve the promised outcome, this counts as never delivered with effort credit.

unresolved same_term A for effort

Van Duyne introduced H.R. 5498, the Small Business Health Options Awareness Act of 2025, which directly matches the promise to require SBA to provide small businesses information about individual coverage health reimbursement arrangements. The bill was referred to the House Small Business Committee and later scheduled for markup in May 2026, showing a concrete legislative effort during her current term. However, the evidence does not show House passage, Senate passage, enactment, or implementation by SBA, so the promised requirement has not yet been delivered.
