The markup packet for the May 14, 2026 Subcommittee on Environment hearing explicitly identifies H.R. 4109, the Recycling and Composting Accountability Act, as one of the bills under consideration and includes statements urging the committee to advance it to the House floor and support final passage.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): As of mid-May 2026, the recycling/composting bill was being actively considered in committee, but the document shows a markup step rather than enactment.

Congress.gov lists H.R. 4109 as introduced on June 24, 2025 and shows the latest action as referral to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, with the bill status still “Introduced.”

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The 119th Congress recycling and composting bill had not advanced beyond introduction and committee referral, so it was not enacted in the relevant period.

Barragán’s office said she re-introduced a conservation-related resolution in September 2025, showing continued legislative activity on environmental issues during the term.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is supporting context that Barragán remained engaged on environmental legislation, but it does not show enactment of the recycling/composting bills.

The commitment seeks enactment. Verified passage 69871 establishes only a 48–0 disposition, without identifying Barragán’s participation or proving enactment or an attributable partial outcome. Its untrusted summary cannot establish candidate effort. No verified evidence establishes that the occurrence-specific year-end deadline has expired as of October 23, 2026.

The promised outcome was enactment of the recycling and composting bills. The evidence shows meaningful same-term legislative activity: H.R. 4109 received subcommittee markup, and the related H.R. 2145 package was reported out of House Energy and Commerce in May 2026, with CBO scoring it in July 2026. But the bills had not been enacted into law as of the available record, and committee reporting or markup is not enactment. Because Barragan and allies materially advanced the issue but the promised enacted-law outcome was not delivered, this is a failed delivery with an effort badge.

Barragan appears to have materially supported the recycling and composting legislation, and the bill reached committee consideration and markup in May 2026, which shows a serious legislative effort. But the official bill record still showed H.R. 4109 only as introduced and referred, with no House passage, Senate passage, or enactment recorded during the relevant term. Because the promised outcome was enactment 'this year' and that outcome did not occur, this is best scored as failed delivery despite meaningful effort.

The recycling and composting legislation was introduced and later considered in committee, but the official bill record still shows H.R. 4109 as only referred and not enacted. Barragán’s office and House records show continued legislative activity, so this qualifies as a serious attempt, but the promised outcome was not achieved in the relevant term.

The promise was to see the recycling and composting bills enacted that year. The available evidence shows Barragán was actively pursuing the legislation, including committee consideration of H.R. 4109 in May 2026, but Congress.gov indicates the bill remained at introduced/referred status and was not enacted. Because there was a serious legislative effort without the promised outcome being achieved, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
