Assessments
Rep. Robin Kelly materially advanced the promised policy by introducing H.R. 2422, the Action for Dental Health Act, on May 15, 2017. The bill passed both chambers and was signed into law as Public Law 115-302 on December 11, 2018, during the 115th Congress while she was serving in federal office. This satisfies the promise to support the Act and merits full delivery credit.
