GovInfo shows H.R. 7577 was introduced by Rep. Horsford on February 13, 2026 and referred to Ways and Means and Education and Workforce. The bill would set tipped employees' required wage at the regular FLSA minimum wage and preserve worker retention of tips.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Horsford took concrete legislative action in the current House term by introducing a bill directly matching the commitment, but the bill remains only introduced/referred, not enacted.

USAGov states the federal tipped-employee minimum wage is $2.13 per hour, with tips plus cash wages required to reach $7.25.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The general federal tipped minimum wage has not been adjusted upward in current public federal guidance, so the promised policy outcome is not delivered as of the refresh date.

Horsford introduced H.R. 7577 in the 119th Congress on February 13, 2026, a bill directly aimed at raising tipped employees' required wage to the regular FLSA minimum wage while preserving tip retention. That is a serious same-term legislative attempt. However, the bill has only been introduced and referred to committees, and current federal Department of Labor guidance still lists the FLSA tipped cash wage at $2.13 per hour with tips required to bring pay to $7.25. The promised federal policy outcome has therefore not been delivered as of September 9, 2026.
