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.
The official GovInfo bill record lists H.R. 8031 as introduced in the House on March 20, 2026 and referred to the Committees on Energy and Commerce and the Judiciary; the page's last action date is March 20, 2026 and it identifies the bill's full title as a repeal of the White House AI executive order.
The White House's executive-order page states the administration ordered an AI Litigation Task Force, state-law evaluation, and other steps to enforce a national AI policy framework and limit conflicting state AI laws.
Assessments
Matsui materially supported repeal by cosponsoring H.R. 8031 in the 119th Congress, a bill whose full title was to repeal the executive order establishing the White House AI policy framework. But official records still show only introduction and referral to committee on March 20, 2026, with no passage, enactment, or actual repeal. Because she made a serious legislative attempt in office but the promised outcome was not achieved, this counts as failed delivery with effort rather than partial or unresolved.
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.
