Evidence

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.

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.”

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.

This is supporting context that Barragán remained engaged on environmental legislation, but it does not show enactment of the recycling/composting bills.

Markup of Three Pieces of Legislation. May 14, 2026.

House committee records show a May 14, 2026 markup session that included H.R. 4109, which is concrete legislative effort but not enactment.

Latest action remains the 2025 referral to House Energy and Commerce; the bill status is still Introduced.

Official bill record shows no enactment or House/Senate passage, so the promise was not delivered.

The Subcommittee on Environment held a May 14, 2026 markup that included H.R. 4109.

This is concrete legislative effort, but it still falls short of enactment.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

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.

never same_term A for 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.

never same_term A for effort

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.
