never same_term A for effort

Biggs materially supported the SWALWELL Act/H.R. 8300 as a cosponsor in the 119th Congress, and the bill text matches the promised policy: barring taxpayer-funded workplace misconduct settlements involving Members or senior staff, requiring personal accountability, and increasing settlement transparency.

Because this is a serious legislative attempt but the promised outcome has not been delivered, the appropriate outcome is never with an effort badge.
