Ezell's official press release says he chaired the first 119th Congress hearing on maritime infrastructure and highlighted Jones Act support, maritime infrastructure improvements, and standards for autonomous maritime technologies.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Recent official activity is maritime-focused, but this does not verify any IOOS reauthorization action or passage. The promise remains unresolved on the available official record.

GovInfo lists H.R. 2294 as an Engrossed in House bill with the full title: An Act To reauthorize the Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observation System Act of 2009.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official bill text record confirms H.R. 2294 reached the Engrossed in House stage, meaning it passed the House but was not shown here as enacted law. This is concrete partial progress toward Ezell's IOOS reauthorization commitment, not full delivery.

Ezell announced that his legislation, H.R. 2294, to reauthorize IOOS, passed the House and now heads to the Senate for consideration.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Ezell's official office statement ties H.R. 2294 directly to his sponsorship and says the House passed it, while also acknowledging Senate action was still needed. This supports a partial outcome with clear effort, not completed reauthorization.

Ezell sponsored H.R. 2294 to reauthorize and modernize the Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observation System, and the bill passed the House on March 16, 2026, during his current House term. However, the record shows it was then received in the Senate and referred to the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee on March 17, 2026, with no enacted reauthorization identified as of September 3, 2026. That is substantial same-term progress and clear candidate effort, but not full delivery of the promised reauthorization.
