Calvert introduced H.R. 8951, the Zero Tolerance for Fraudsters Act of 2026, on May 21, 2026, matching the substance of the promise. The latest available legislative status shows referral to the House Judiciary Committee, not House passage, Senate passage, or enactment. Because the 119th Congress is still ongoing as of August 28, 2026, the promise has not been delivered yet but is not definitively failed.
