Steube sponsored H.R. 642, the Myakka Wild and Scenic River Act of 2025, and took follow-up action by urging Natural Resources Committee consideration. A House Federal Lands subcommittee hearing was scheduled for September 2, 2026, which is concrete advancement during his current term. However, as of August 31, 2026, the bill had not passed Congress or been enacted, and the Myakka River had not been designated as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. This supports partial credit with an effort badge, not full delivery.

Steube clearly took concrete action to advance the promise: he introduced H.R. 642, the Myakka Wild and Scenic River Act of 2025, and later led a letter urging the House Natural Resources Committee to consider and advance it. However, the available evidence shows the bill remained at introduced/referred status and does not show committee approval, passage by Congress, or enactment designating the Myakka River as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Because he materially advanced the proposal but did not achieve the promised designation, this is best scored as partial rather than delivered.
