The enacted law is Public Law 118-158 and includes Division B, Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2025, plus agricultural disaster aid in Section 2102: $10 billion for economic assistance to farmers and $220 million for state block grants covering crop, timber, and livestock losses, including on-farm infrastructure.

Congress enacted a year-end disaster-relief package that contained substantial farm aid and agriculture-specific appropriations, satisfying the substantive part of the promise before the end of 2024.

Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

The promised outcome was to support agriculture-specific appropriations for Hurricane Helene recovery before the end of 2024. Congress enacted Public Law 118-158 on December 21, 2024, with substantial agricultural disaster aid, and Austin Scott voted yes on final House passage on December 20, 2024. Because the promise was framed as support rather than sole authorship, his affirmative vote on the enacted year-end package satisfies the commitment within the relevant campaign-to-term window.
