The promise required federal reauthorization of the Distance Learning and Telemedicine Program at $82 million annually for five years, which requires enactment into law. H.R. 7567 contained the exact authorization language for fiscal years 2027 through 2031 and passed the House on April 30, 2026, with Langworthy voting yea and publicly claiming relevant incorporated rural telehealth legislation. However, the evidence shows House passage only, not Senate passage, presidential signature, or enacted law. This is a serious same-term legislative effort but not delivery of the promised outcome.
