The promise was specifically to introduce the Family Grocery and Farmer Relief Act, not necessarily to enact it. Official bill metadata confirms that Charles E. Schumer sponsored and introduced S.4007, the Family Grocery and Farmer Relief Act, in the 119th Congress on March 5, 2026, and it was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. The bill title and purpose match the promised meatpacking competition, farmer relief, and consumer meat-price goals. Because Schumer was serving in the same Senate term when he introduced it, this counts as delivered with same_term timing.

Sen. Schumer formally introduced the Family Grocery and Farmer Relief Act as S.4007 (GovInfo record: read twice and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 5, 2026) and publicly announced/championed the bill (Schumer press release, May 4, 2026). The campaign promise was to introduce the legislation to break up meatpacking monopolies, help farmers, and lower meat costs — introducing S.4007 satisfies that promise even though further legislative action is pending.
