Roll Call 154 records H.R. 7567, Farm, Food, and National Security Act, passing the House on April 30, 2026 by 224-200; Langworthy is recorded as voting Yea.
Assessments
The promised outcome requires enactment or operative executive action reauthorizing the Acer Access and Development Program and adding industry-input requirements. Langworthy materially advanced it in the same House term by sponsoring the SAP Act language and voting for House passage of H.R. 7567, which included the Acer reauthorization and stakeholder-input provision. However, House passage alone did not enact the provision, and available status evidence shows no final Senate passage or public law by August 18, 2026, so the promise remains pending rather than delivered.
