Evidence

legacy_unverified · Source version not recorded · locator unknown

GovInfo lists H.R. 9066 as introduced by Rep. Grace Meng and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary on May 29, 2026. The bill would require the Attorney General to establish a hate crime prevention grant program for community-based organizations and authorize $30,000,000 for each fiscal year 2027 through 2031.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Meng took concrete legislative action matching the promise by introducing an authorizing DOJ grant bill, but the official record shows only introduction and committee referral, not enactment.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. unknown A for effort

Meng materially attempted the promised action in the same federal term by introducing H.R. 9066 on May 29, 2026, which would authorize a DOJ hate-crime prevention grant program for community-based organizations. However, the bill's latest official status is introduction and referral to the House Judiciary Committee, with no evidence of passage or enactment. Existing DOJ community-based hate-crime grant activity shows related funding existed, but not that Meng delivered the promised authorization. This is a serious legislative effort, not a fulfilled outcome.
