Evidence
Last Action Date Listed: March 26, 2026. Action: Ms. Cortez Masto (for herself and Mr. McCormick) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. Full Title: To amend title 23, United States Code, to enhance roadside worker safety, and for other purposes.
April 2, 2026. Senators Dave McCormick and Catherine Cortez Masto recently introduced the bipartisan Safe Roads for Those Who Serve Act to protect first responders and roadside workers as they do their jobs on roads and highways.
Assessments
McCormick materially attempted the promise by co-introducing the bipartisan Safer Roads for Those Who Serve Act of 2026, which directly targets roadside worker and first responder safety. The available record shows only introduction and referral to committee in the 119th Congress, with no enactment or completed policy outcome. Because the promised outcome was to support and advance legislation, he gets credit for a serious same-term legislative effort, but not delivery of enhanced protections.
