The official Reschenthaler legislation page lists H.R.9471 as “Cosponsored — SAFE Banking Act of 2026” updated 07/17/26, and H.R.7987 as “Sponsored — To prohibit Federal agencies from taking any adverse action against a person solely because the person provides business assistance to a cannabis-related legitimate business...” updated 03/18/26.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): As of the current official House member legislation listing found in the refresh, Reschenthaler’s matching CLIMB Act bill remains listed with its March 18, 2026 update, while a related cannabis banking bill appears as a later cosponsored effort. This supports continued effort but does not show enactment or implementation of the promised federal prohibition.

GovInfo lists H.R.9471 as introduced June 25, 2026, with Guy Reschenthaler among the cosponsors, and says the bill was referred to the Committees on Financial Services, Judiciary, and Veterans' Affairs. Its full title is “To create protections for financial institutions that provide financial services to State-sanctioned marijuana businesses and service providers for such businesses...”

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Reschenthaler took additional related action by cosponsoring SAFE Banking Act protections for financial institutions serving cannabis businesses, but the official record shows only introduction and referral, not passage or enactment. This does not deliver the broader promised adverse-action prohibition for all business assistance providers.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. same_term A for effort

Reschenthaler sponsored H.R. 7987 in the 119th Congress, and the bill text directly matches the promised prohibition on federal adverse action against people providing business assistance to cannabis-related legitimate businesses. However, the official record shows only introduction and referral to committee, with no enactment or implemented federal prohibition. His later cosponsorship of the 2026 SAFE Banking Act is related but narrower and also not enacted. This is a serious same-term legislative effort, but the promised outcome has not been delivered.

Reschenthaler clearly took concrete action by introducing H.R. 7987 in March 2026, and the bill text matches the promise. However, the available evidence shows only introduction and referral to the House Financial Services Committee, with no committee approval, chamber passage, enactment, or implemented federal prohibition yet documented. Because the promise concerns an actual policy change and there is no evidence the change has been achieved, it cannot be marked delivered. Since the bill is newly introduced in the same term and its final fate is not established in the record provided, the best classification is unresolved rather than never. His introduction of the bill warrants an effort badge.
