Evidence

The bill text shows Rep. Moore introduced the Promoting Childhood Independence and Resilience Act of 2026 and that it was referred to committee. The text would amend child welfare and child abuse prevention law to address reasonable childhood independence activities.

Most recent official legislative text confirms introduction, but it does not show committee markup, floor action, or enactment. No later official movement was located in the lookback window, so the commitment remains unresolved.

unresolved same_term A for effort

Rep. Blake D. Moore materially advanced the promise by introducing the Promoting Childhood Independence and Resilience Act of 2026 on May 8, 2026. The official bill text shows his authorship and committee referral, but there is no evidence here of committee approval, floor passage, or enactment that would deliver the policy outcome of protecting parents and clarifying that reasonable independent play is not neglect. Because Moore is still in office and the 119th Congress is ongoing, this is best scored as unresolved rather than never. He should receive effort credit for making a serious legislative attempt.
