Congress.gov bill text shows H.R. 6356 was introduced in House on 12/02/2025 by Clarke for herself and Lee, among others. The bill includes civil-rights, pre-deployment evaluation, post-deployment impact assessment, and transparency provisions.
Assessments
Lee fulfilled the promise by serving as a House co-lead/original participant in the Artificial Intelligence Civil Rights Act of 2025, introduced in the House on December 2, 2025. The bill’s stated provisions match the promise: preventing discriminatory AI use in critical decisions, requiring pre- and post-deployment testing or assessment, and increasing transparency for consequential algorithmic systems. Because the promise was to introduce legislation rather than enact it, introduction during her active congressional service counts as delivered in the same term.
