Barrett's office says the House passed H.R. 2853 and that he will continue working to protect local businesses and take dangerous criminals off the streets.

This is a concrete legislative step on the organized retail theft issue, but it is only a House-stage claim and does not show final enactment. It supports partial delivery within the same term.

Congress.gov still lists H.R. 2853 as introduced, with the latest recorded House action being placement on the Union Calendar on January 30, 2026.

The official legislative record does not show final passage, Senate action, or enactment. That leaves the promise unresolved in the record despite earlier House-stage movement.
