introduced legislation to repeal White House AI moratorium
Repeal the White House AI moratorium.
Occurrences
That’s why my colleagues and I are introducing this bill to repeal the order, and I will keep using every tool Congress has to stop this overreach and protect the public.
Evidence
Text page for H.R. 8031 states it was introduced in the House on March 20, 2026 and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary.
The Congressional Record Index entry dated May 16, 2026 includes H.R. 8031 among the listed House bills.
Assessments
Matsui materially advanced the promise by co-sponsoring H.R. 8031, a federal bill aimed at repealing the White House AI moratorium. However, the evidence shows the bill had only been introduced and referred to committees as of May 16, 2026, with no passage or actual repeal. Because there was a serious legislative attempt but the promised repeal was not delivered, this should be scored as never with an effort badge.
