The Secretary of State will be required to submit to Congress a comprehensive strategy to support a democratic transition in Venezuela.
Occurrences

He underscored the importance of committees of jurisdiction meeting regularly to conduct oversight and debate legislative proposals while events continue to evolve.
Evidence
The article says Washington is steering Venezuela's transition by backing Dinorah Figuera to lead reinstitutionalization, including selecting a new electoral council by the end of 2026, but also notes there are few institutional advances and that some official and pro-government actors deny an election-based transition.
The story describes a U.S.-backed interim government in Venezuela working with Washington on security and investment projects, indicating the country is still in a managed transition rather than a settled democratic handoff.
Assessments
I found no evidence that Jared Moskowitz secured enactment of the specific congressional reporting requirement, and the available evidence only shows ongoing and contested U.S.-Venezuela transition policy rather than completion of the promised statutory step. Without proof of a passed measure or a required Secretary of State report reaching Congress, this cannot be counted as delivered.
