Assessments
Brian Jack sponsored H.R. 4624, which directly included a national minimum per-round payment for professional boxers and advanced substantially, including House passage and referral to the Senate during his current House term. But the record provided shows no Senate passage, presidential signature, or enacted federal rule establishing the payment requirement. Because the promised outcome was not actually established, this is not delivered; however, Jack made a serious legislative attempt, so the effort badge applies.
Jack directly sponsored H.R. 4624, which explicitly would set a national minimum payment of $150 per round for professional boxers. The bill advanced through committee and then passed the House in March 2026, showing substantial and serious progress attributable to him. But the evidence does not show final enactment into federal law, so the promised outcome was not fully delivered. Because he materially advanced the exact policy during his current term, this merits partial credit with same-term timing.
