Evidence

Congress.gov lists Sam Graves as sponsor of H.R.7328, the 'Protecting Small Businesses from Predatory Website Lawsuits Act,' introduced on 2026-02-03 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce; the page still shows the bill status as 'Introduced.'

Graves has taken a concrete legislative step that matches the promise, but the bill has not advanced beyond introduction and referral, so the commitment is still unresolved.

Assessments

unresolved same_term A for effort

Sam Graves introduced H.R. 7328, which directly matches the promise to curb predatory website lawsuits by giving small businesses a chance to fix accessibility issues first. But the bill is only at the introduction and committee-referral stage, so the promised policy has not been enacted or otherwise delivered yet.
