Assessments

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

Schneider materially advanced legislation matching the promise by cosponsoring/reintroducing the RISE Act, which would strengthen retirement plan startup tax credits for micro-businesses and extend credit access to service providers. However, the relevant House bill was only introduced and referred to Ways and Means as of August 14, 2026, with no enactment or implemented tax-credit expansion shown. This is a serious same-term legislative effort, but the promised outcome has not been delivered.
