The bill text shows the No Surprises Act Enforcement Act was introduced in the Senate and includes provisions increasing penalties for late payment or non-payment and annual reporting to Congress.

Official bill text corroborates the policy elements in the claim, including penalties and reporting transparency, though it is the Senate companion rather than Murphy’s House filing.

The Senate companion text states that the Secretary shall annually submit to Congress a report on implementation, providing a concrete transparency requirement tied to the enforcement package.

This supports the reporting-transparency component of the promise, but does not by itself prove House enactment or further legislative progress.

Assessments

delivered same_term

The promise was to introduce legislation closing No Surprises Act enforcement gaps through higher penalties for missed payment deadlines, parity in penalties, and stronger reporting transparency. Official congressional press releases show Rep. Gregory F. Murphy introduced legislation with those same elements, including the No Surprises Enforcement Act in 2025 and related legislation in 2024. Because the promised action was introduction of legislation, not enactment, this satisfies the commitment during his federal term.

The promise was to introduce legislation with specific enforcement features for the No Surprises Act. Multiple official congressional sources state that Rep. Murphy introduced the No Surprises Enforcement Act and describe it as increasing penalties for non-compliance with payment deadlines, creating parity in penalties, and increasing transparency through reporting requirements. Because the promise was explicitly about introducing legislation, not passing it, the introduction itself fulfills the commitment in the same term.
