Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. same_term A for effort

Leger Fernandez materially advanced the promised policy by sponsoring H.R.6493 in 2022, which passed the House and would have reauthorized and revised campus alcohol and substance misuse prevention and recovery support programs, and by reintroducing H.R.7019 in 2026. However, the 2022 bill stopped after Senate referral and the 2026 bill remains in House committee, with no enacted expansion of the programs shown. This is a serious legislative effort but not delivery of the promised outcome.
