Assessments
The promise was to support legislation, not necessarily to secure enactment. Mann introduced H.R. 7261 during the same federal term, and the bill included the promised motor carrier safety screening safeguards: voluntary PSP access, driver consent for record access, and preserved Fair Credit Reporting Act/adverse-action protections. The bill had not been enacted in the provided record, but introduction and sponsorship materially satisfy the stated support-legislation commitment.
The promise was to support legislation with specific driver-privacy, consent, and Fair Credit Reporting Act safeguards in motor-carrier safety screening. Mann did support and help introduce H.R. 7261, and the bill text included those safeguards, so there was a serious legislative effort. But the available official status shows the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, with no evidence of passage or enactment. Under the scoring rule, a serious attempt that did not achieve the promised outcome is scored as never, with effort_badge true.
