Evidence

Rep. Velázquez's office said she "voiced her support" for New York State legislation to close a loophole used by predatory hedge funds and stated that passing the Champerty Fix Bill would show New York stands against predatory actors exploiting financial distress.

New York Assembly records list S01477A as same as A00643-B, show it passed the Senate on 2026-06-02, was delivered to the Assembly, and was referred to Judiciary; the page also states there are no Assembly floor votes for this bill in this legislative session.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The underlying New York Champerty Fix legislation advanced in the Senate but had not passed the Assembly or become law as of the available official record, so the anti-vulture-fund policy goal remains only partially advanced even though Velázquez's support commitment was fulfilled.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): delivered. same_term

The promise was to support New York legislation targeting vulture funds, not necessarily to secure final enactment of that state bill. Rep. Velazquez publicly backed the New York Champerty Fix legislation while serving in federal office, directly matching the promised action. The bill’s lack of full state enactment affects the broader policy outcome, but not fulfillment of this support-specific commitment.
