The exact promised policy language appears in a 119th Congress committee print, including the specific 75 percent reduction in compliance requirements for small refining companies beginning in calendar year 2028. That shows the promise was materially advanced in the same term. However, the evidence provided does not show the provision was enacted into law, nor does it establish Sharice Davids as the principal sponsor or decisive driver of the provision. Under the federal-office standard, committee-print inclusion is meaningful progress but not full delivery of the promised outcome. Because there was a serious legislative step toward the promise, partial credit is warranted rather than delivered.
