Reported with an amendment, committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union, and ordered to be printed. Report No. 119-638. Full title again states the bill would increase the maximum education and training voucher amount.

The House committee reported the bill, showing substantial legislative progress toward increasing the voucher maximum, but not final delivery.

Vote question: On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass H.R. 7463. Result: Passed by the Yeas and Nays, 320-99.

This is a different 2024 bill with the same number, so it does not support delivery of Chu’s 2026 foster-youth voucher bill; included only to disambiguate and avoid mistaken matching.

The Congress.gov public-laws page lists enacted 119th Congress public laws by public-law number, bill number, title, and date. A page search found no H.R. 7463 or Foster Youth Postsecondary Education Access and Success Act entry among the visible enacted-law records.

No official public-law listing located in this refresh shows H.R. 7463 enacted, so the promised voucher increase is not proven delivered in the lookback window.

The current displayed text of 42 U.S.C. 677(i)(4)(B) says education and training vouchers "shall not exceed the lesser of $5,000 per year" or the total cost of attendance.

The codified voucher cap still appears as $5,000, not $12,000, which weighs against treating the commitment as delivered as of this refresh.

never same_term A for effort

Chu sponsored H.R. 7463 in the 119th Congress to raise the Education and Training Voucher cap, and the bill advanced through committee, which is a serious legislative effort. But the evidence does not show enactment, the public-law record does not show the bill became law, and the codified cap still appears to be $5,000 rather than $12,000. The promised outcome has therefore not been delivered.

partial same_term A for effort

Judy Chu introduced H.R. 7463 in the 119th Congress to increase the maximum Education and Training Voucher amount, directly matching the promise, and the bill advanced out of committee with a House report. However, the evidence provided does not show enactment into law or that the voucher maximum was actually increased. Because she materially pursued the promised change and achieved meaningful legislative progress but did not yet deliver the outcome, this is best scored as partial rather than delivered. The unrelated 2024 bill with the same number does not count.
