House Clerk roll call 154 lists H.R. 7567, Farm, Food, and National Security Act, as passed 224-200 on April 30, 2026. The member table records Lucas, Republican, Oklahoma, voting Yea.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is concrete same-term support by Lucas for the House farm bill. The September 3-5, 2026 lookback did not reveal a newer official delivery event; this remains the latest concrete Lucas action found. Because the bill had only passed the House and had not become law, it supports partial rather than delivered status.

Section 12406 would require USDA reporting on Animal Welfare Act enforcement and capacity, recommendations to improve standards, visual dental examinations where practicable, and rules for notification or immediate confiscation/destruction when a dog is in unrelieved suffering. Section 12006 would also bar states from enforcing certain livestock production standards on livestock raised elsewhere.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The bill Lucas supported contains some USDA Animal Welfare Act expansions for companion animals/dogs, but it is narrower than the full promise and includes a provision that could undercut state animal-welfare production standards. This supports a mixed, partial assessment, not full delivery.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term A for effort

Lucas took concrete same-term action by voting Yea on H.R. 7567, a 2026 House farm bill that included limited USDA Animal Welfare Act-related provisions, including reporting, recommendations to improve standards, dental examination language where practicable, and procedures for dogs in severe suffering. However, the bill had only passed the House and had not become law, and the animal-welfare provisions were narrower than the broad promise while other bill language could limit some state livestock welfare standards. This supports partial credit for backing a relevant expansion effort, not full delivery.
