Downing introduced H.R. 8092 in the 119th Congress, and the bill directly includes Section 184 modernization provisions aimed at expanding private financing options. But the available official status shows the House bill only introduced/referred, with related Senate versions also pending in committee as of September 9, 2026. Because introduction is a serious legislative attempt but not enacted or implemented modernization, the promise has not been delivered.
