Public state: unverifiedAs of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never.unknownA for effort
The promised outcome was not achieved: the federal income tax was not replaced with a national consumption tax, and FairTax legislation never became law. Lankford did make a serious legislative effort by cosponsoring the Senate FairTax bill S.155 in the 114th Congress on April 23, 2015, but that bill was only introduced and referred to committee; later FairTax bills also remained at the introduced stage. Because the outcome never occurred, this is a failed delivery rather than partial or later-term fulfillment.
