participated with his bipartisan Energy & Commerce colleagues in a full committee markup of legislation to reauthorize the First Responder Network Authority and modernize the nation’s emergency alert system.
Hudson applauded unanimous House passage of H.R. 7386, the First Responder Network Authority Reauthorization Act of 2026, describing FirstNet as a critical public safety resource and supporting reauthorization.
Evidence
The article says a House bill to renew FirstNet, with new accountability measures, recently passed committee unanimously; Hudson's February hearing stressed transparency and accountability.
The FCC proposed reexamining EAS and WEA from the ground up to make alerting systems more effective, efficient, and resilient, but the NPRM is still just a proposal.
Assessments
Hudson appears to have materially advanced the FirstNet reauthorization side of the promise through hearings and committee-level House action, but the bill had not become law. The emergency alert modernization side was also still incomplete, with the FCC only at the notice-of-proposed-rulemaking stage rather than a finished policy change. Because neither promised outcome was actually completed, this is not delivered; however, the available evidence shows a serious attempt on at least part of the promise, so it fits never with effort rather than full delivery or clear partial completion.
