This Act may be cited as the 'District of Columbia Juror Pay Parity Act.' In the House of Representatives, April 8, 2021, Ms. Norton introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Reform. The bill would provide that grand and petit jurors serving in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia receive fees and expenses at the same rates paid to grand and petit jurors appearing in U.S. district courts.

Earlier GovInfo bill text shows Norton had previously introduced the same policy proposal, reinforcing that the 2026 reintroduction was part of a sustained federal legislative effort. The earlier bill is supportive background, while the 2026 introduction is the decisive delivery evidence for the current promise.

Assessments

delivered same_term

The promise was specifically to introduce and support the District of Columbia Juror Pay Parity Act, not necessarily to secure enactment. The record shows Eleanor Holmes Norton introduced/reintroduced the bill on March 9, 2026, and her office publicly supported it and described the bill as requiring D.C. Superior Court juror pay to match federal juror pay. That satisfies the promised federal legislative action in the same term, even though the evidence does not show passage or implementation.

delivered same_term

The promise was to introduce and support the District of Columbia Juror Pay Parity Act, not necessarily to enact it. Evidence shows Norton directly fulfilled that commitment by introducing the bill in the 119th Congress on March 9, 2026, and publicly backing it in an official release the same day. Earlier introductions in 2021 reinforce that this was a sustained effort, but the current-term reintroduction alone is enough to satisfy the stated promise.

unresolved same_term A for effort

The promise was to introduce and support the District of Columbia Juror Pay Parity Act. The evidence shows Norton directly did that by introducing the bill in 2026 and publicly backing it, with earlier reintroduction in 2021 showing continued effort on the same policy. However, the record provided shows only introduction and committee referral, not enactment or implementation. Because the claim text includes both introducing and supporting the act, those actions are clearly documented, but the policy outcome itself has not been shown to pass. Given the available evidence and the active current term, the most appropriate judgment is unresolved rather than delivered or never.
