The promise was to support legislation requiring AI-focused data centers to disclose information before development, not necessarily to secure final enactment. During Foushee's current House term, she cosponsored H.R. 8488, whose title and described purpose directly match the promised disclosure requirement. Cosponsorship is a concrete legislative act that fulfills a support-legislation promise even though the bill had not advanced beyond committee referral as of the evidence provided.
