The introduced bill text states that Section 316 of the Immigration and Nationality Act would be amended to add a terrorism-attestation requirement: each applicant would execute a written attestation that the applicant has not been convicted of, or had charges pending for, a covered offense and does not possess intent to commit a covered offense in the future.

Assessments
Barry Moore cosponsored H.R. 8341 in the 119th Congress, which matches the promised policy by proposing a naturalization attestation disavowing terrorist intent. However, the federal legislative record shows the bill was only introduced and referred to the House Judiciary Committee, with no House passage, Senate passage, presidential signature, or enactment. Because the promised legal requirement has not taken effect, this is not delivered, though Moore receives an effort badge for a concrete legislative attempt.
