Assessments
The promised outcome was enactment: passage of the Railway Safety Act and presidential signature. As of the September 6, 2026 assessment, the standalone House and Senate Railway Safety Act bills remained at introduction/referral, and the broader BUILD America 250 Act carrying some Deluzio rail-safety language had only cleared committee, not become law. Deluzio did sponsor and materially advance the policy through introduction and committee action, so this merits an effort badge, but it does not satisfy final passage and signature.
The promise was to pass the Railway Safety Act and have it signed into law. The evidence shows Deluzio introduced and reintroduced Railway Safety Act legislation and materially advanced some of its provisions by getting language amended into the BUILD America 250 Act, which passed committee. However, there is no evidence that the Railway Safety Act itself passed both chambers or was signed into law, nor that the broader vehicle carrying his provisions became law. Because he made a serious legislative effort and achieved committee-level progress but did not deliver final enactment, this is best scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
