Latest Action: Senate - 05/20/2025 Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 79. Actions Overview: 05/20/2025 Committee on the Judiciary. Reported by Senator Grassley without amendment. Without written report. Summary: This bill reauthorizes through FY2029 grants for state and local law enforcement agencies and other organizations to provide family support services and mental health services to law enforcement personnel.

The parallel Senate bill advanced to the Senate calendar, showing legislative movement toward the same FY2029 reauthorization, but this record still does not show final enactment by the lookback date.

The bill text amends section 1001(a)(21) by striking '2020 through 2024' and inserting '2025 through 2029'.

This confirms the precise requested policy change in the introduced House bill: extending the grant authority through 2029, but it is still only bill text, not proof of delivery.

Congress.gov still shows H.R. 5282 as introduced, with latest action on 2025-09-10: referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. The bill page does not show House passage, Senate passage, or enactment.

As of the refresh date, Reschenthaler's bill remains only an introduced House measure and has not been enacted, so the promised FY2029 reauthorization has not been delivered.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Reschenthaler introduced the exact reauthorization bill, but the House measure remained in introduced/referral status and shows no House passage, Senate passage, or enactment as of the evidence date. That is a serious legislative attempt, but the promised outcome was not delivered.

never same_term A for effort

Reschenthaler did materially pursue the promise by sponsoring H.R. 5282 in 2025, and the bill text matches the promised policy by extending the relevant COPS-related mental health grant authority from 2025 through 2029. However, the House bill remained only introduced and referred to committee, with no evidence of House passage, enactment, or any final change in law. A parallel Senate bill advanced to the Senate calendar, which shows broader legislative movement on the issue, but that still does not establish completion of the promised outcome. Because the promise was specific to reauthorizing the funding through 2029 and that reauthorization had not been enacted, the promise was not delivered. Since he made a serious legislative attempt by introducing the exact bill, effort credit is warranted.
