Evidence

QTP distributions are tax-free only up to adjusted qualified education expenses, with taxable earnings calculated against AQEE.

Current federal tax guidance still treats qualified tuition program distributions as education-specific; this does not show a change allowing first-time homebuyer housing expenses.

The newest official releases on the page are dated June 17, 2026 and June 10, 2026, covering unrelated issues such as antisemitic behavior, veterans legislation, and Turkey policy.

In the last lookback window, Bilirakis's official site shows recent activity on other issues but no concrete action on the 529-to-homebuyer expansion; this is an inference from the page contents.

Assessments

unresolved unknown

The evidence does not show Gus Bilirakis wrote, sponsored, or materially advanced legislation to let 529/QTP funds cover first-time homebuyer housing expenses, and current IRS guidance still treats QTP distributions as education-specific. That means the promised policy change is not shown as delivered, but the record here is too thin to call it a clear failure or assign credit for later enactment.
