Evidence

Last Action Date Listed: March 3, 2025. Action: Mr. Kaine (for himself and Mr. Cornyn) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. The bill title says it is to prioritize natural disaster resilience.

The Senate bill matching the claim was introduced and referred, but the official bill record shows no further action in the source available here, so it does not prove enactment or execution of the directive.

The legislation would ... require the Secretary of State, in consultation with USAID, and the Inter-American Foundation, to promote efforts to improve disaster response and resilience.

This official statement confirms the bill language included the Caribbean disaster-response/resilience directive and that the measure cleared committee, but it still does not show the policy was delivered into law or implemented.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Kaine materially advanced the promised policy by sponsoring or co-sponsoring Caribbean Basin Security Initiative Authorization Act language requiring the Secretary of State, with USAID and the Inter-American Foundation, to promote Caribbean disaster response and resilience. The 118th Congress version cleared committee, and the 119th Congress version, S.820, was introduced on March 3, 2025. However, the current official bill status is only Introduced, with no evidence that the requirement became law or was otherwise implemented. Because this was a serious legislative attempt but did not deliver the promised outcome, it should be scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
