Congress.gov lists Rep. Eric Sorensen as sponsor, status as Introduced, and latest action as referral to a House subcommittee.

Sorensen introduced a bill matching the promise, but the official status shows it did not advance beyond introduction and committee/subcommittee referral in the 118th Congress.

H.R.9851 would amend the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and direct DOE to establish the named heavy-industry hydrogen program after enactment.

The bill text confirms the legislative vehicle directly addressed the promise. Because the operative duty depended on enactment, introduction alone did not establish the program.

Sorensen's office announced the bipartisan Hydrogen for Industry Act and said he looked forward to getting the bill signed into law.

The official release documents concrete effort by Sorensen and also frames enactment as still pending, supporting an effort badge but not fulfillment.

The Senate companion bill had one listed action: read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

The companion legislation also stalled at referral, so it did not provide an alternate path to establish the promised program during the 118th Congress.

The current U.S. Code page identifies Energy Policy Act section 969D as Carbon removal, not the proposed 969E hydrogen demonstration program.

H.R.9851 would have inserted a new Energy Policy Act section 969E after section 969D. The current-code record supports that the promised program was not enacted by the as-of date.
