The official press-release archive lists the March 18 nitazenes introduction, while newer entries through June 9, 2026 are unrelated and do not show a later nitazene committee or floor action.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The current official news feed does not publicly document any later advancement of the nitazenes bill during the lookback window, so the advance portion remains unresolved on the public record.

Latta appears to have fulfilled the "introduce" portion of the promise in his current term by introducing the STOP Nitazenes Act on March 18, 2026 to permanently place nitazenes in Schedule I. However, the provided record does not show that the bill materially advanced beyond introduction through the latest cited official updates in June 2026. Because the promise required both introducing and advancing the legislation, the evidence supports partial rather than full delivery.
