Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof.

Adam Smith sponsored H.R. 5859 in the 119th Congress to create HHS grants for establishing, operating, or expanding behavioral health crisis care centers, matching the promised policy substance. However, the bill remained introduced/referred to committees with no evidence of passage, enactment, appropriation, or operational federal grant program. This is a serious legislative attempt, but the promised outcome was not delivered.
