Engrossed Senate text amends section 6 of the ACT for ALS Act to make the GAO report due after enactment of the 2026 reauthorization act, and states: "Passed the Senate August 4, 2026."

The release says the Quigley-Calvert House companion passed the House, the Senate passed its legislation, and "the next step is for the House and Senate to appoint conferees to negotiate the differences between the two bills." It also says the bill would direct GAO to issue a report by 2030.
Assessments
The promised outcome is a statutory requirement for a new GAO report on ACT for ALS implementation in 2030. Quigley materially advanced the House companion as lead sponsor, and both chambers had passed related ALS reauthorization bills by August 2026, with the Senate text including the GAO-report provision. But the bills still needed reconciliation/final passage and presidential signature, so the GAO-report requirement had not yet become law as of the available current evidence. Because Quigley is still in federal office and the legislation remains pending in the same congressional term, the proper status is unresolved rather than delivered or never.
