Bost says he has found a path to pass the Major Richard Star Act and a broader veterans package in the coming weeks.

The House Veterans' Affairs Committee said Chairman Mike Bost and Chairman Jerry Moran announced legislation to pass the Major Richard Star Act and more than 60 bipartisan bills through a negotiated House-Senate veterans package. It said the Take Care of America's Veterans Act, H.R. 9237, was introduced that day and included benefits and health-care access provisions.

The House Clerk recorded Roll Call 249 on H.R. 9237, the Take Care of America's Veterans Act, as a vote on a motion to recommit. The motion failed 210-211; Bost voted Nay. No enacted-law record was found in the Aug. 12-14 lookback window.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The package reached House floor procedure, but the available official roll-call record shows only a failed recommit motion rather than passage. As of Aug. 14, 2026, the commitment remained unresolved despite Bost's effort.

Assessments

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

Bost materially supported and advanced the veterans package during the same federal term by introducing and promoting H.R. 9237 with the Major Richard Star Act and related veterans benefits and health-care provisions. However, the evidence shows floor activity but no final passage or enactment as of August 14, 2026, so the promised outcome of passing the package was not delivered. Because this was a serious legislative attempt that failed to achieve passage, it is best scored as never with an effort badge rather than partial delivery.
