GovInfo lists H.R. 8865, sponsored by Pete Stauber, titled the Protecting Taxpayers from Fraudulent Providers Act of 2026. The full title says it would amend the Social Security Act to permanently exclude providers convicted of certain fraud-related criminal offenses from participation in federal health care programs. The action listed is introduction and referral to the Committees on Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means on May 15, 2026.
Assessments
Stauber took concrete same-term anti-fraud actions in federal office, including sponsoring H.R. 8865 to exclude fraud-convicted providers from federal health care programs and H.R. 9588 to require state officials to report fraud involving federal funds, plus public engagement with House Oversight fraud findings. However, the available official bill-status evidence shows these measures were introduced and referred, not enacted or otherwise completed into a binding anti-fraud policy outcome. That supports meaningful effort and partial credit, but not full delivery of the taxpayer-fund protection and fraud-prevention result.
The promise is broad and centers on supporting anti-fraud oversight rather than guaranteeing a specific enacted result. The evidence shows Pete Stauber publicly engaged with House oversight findings on fraud on June 8, 2026, which indicates participation in anti-fraud efforts during his term. But the record provided does not show that he secured a concrete policy change, recovered funds, or materially completed a federal anti-fraud outcome. Under federal office credit rules, this supports partial credit for active oversight engagement, not full delivery.
