The promised action was specifically to reintroduce the Chinese CBDC Prohibition Act, not necessarily to enact it. The evidence states that Senator Rick Scott reintroduced the bill on May 22, 2026, during his current federal Senate term, and that the bill would bar money services businesses and related entities from using a PRC- or CCP-issued central bank digital currency, including the digital yuan. This directly matches the promised action and policy scope, so it counts as delivered in the same term.
