Occurrences
Evidence
Liccardo, with cosponsors, introduced the Save Willy Act to prevent whale deaths in the San Francisco Bay. The bill creates a Whale Desk at the U.S. Coast Guard’s San Francisco station and directs evaluation of whale-tracking and alert technologies.
Assessments
The promise was specifically to introduce federal legislation on a pilot-style program to reduce vessel impacts on large cetaceans in the San Francisco Bay region. Evidence shows Rep. Liccardo introduced the "Save Willy Act" on April 22, 2026, with cosponsors, targeting whale-vessel collisions in the Bay area through a Coast Guard whale desk and evaluation of whale-tracking and alert technologies. Because the commitment was to introduce legislation rather than to enact it, this constitutes delivery in the same federal term.
